It is not the sea level that is changing. The volume of water on Earth is almost a constant. It is the ground that moves up or down which causes an apparent ‘change’ in sea level.
For instance, that last graph of the sea level change after an EARTHQUAKE.
I live just a few feet above sea level, and I live near one of the measurement stations.
But the data stopped at 1994.
I await a clear, easy to understand (and believe) explanation showing that mankind is causing the climate to be warmer, hence melting the polar ice caps, and making the seas rise.
I already know the planet got colder, hotter, colder BEFORE there was enough human activity to have caused it.
Your not thinking about WHO IS YOUR INTENDED AUDIENCE here!!!
I have two masters degrees and your information is overwhelming.
Why not have an executive summary page that the average folks can understand.
Love WUWT as a resource. I had actually looked at a couple of tide gauges and buoys near the midatlantic region years ago and found a minimal rise in those datasets. This opens up the idea to more thorough analysis.
Very near my home we can walk the creeks and where there are channels cut to 15-20 feet, we can dig fossils of giant clam shells out of the banks. Even my young son can see that this embankment was a marine environment with abundant geology to show that, “The only constant is change.”
The greens are scammers trying to separate folks from their money.

“apparent datum shifts”
Mentioned at the end and not to be overlooked.
The tide gauge uses a datum as a reference point. These are like survey markers put into the ground by USGS.
Those points are NOT fixed in space. Until they “map” those datums to true fixed points via satellite, you can really only use this data short term and not to identify a long term trend.
Too intimidating for me, however, a section showing how hard women and children will be affected might be a nice touch.
Thanks for your work in this.

I went to the “data” section and went through graphs for about 50 or 60 data collection points.
What is clear is atmospheric “warming” models cannot accurately explain “sea level” at all, because the ACTUAL change, from one place to another not only varies widely but is lower at many places, not just uniformly higher.
Other factors obviously related to changes with the land itself are at work when it comes to the sea level relative to any particular location.
