Current actual measurements suggest about 1-2 mm per year. It has not been accelerating. It is likely due to outflow of fresh water sources, ie springs and aquifers, beneath sea level, not increasing surface air temperatures. In some places the relative sea level has risen due to tectonic shifts and subsidence, as with river deltas. In other places it has dropped.

I’ve seen that reported. But I don’t think it has any credibility at all. No measuring device that I know of could pick up such a small value with any precision. It would be like trying to measure the height of Mt. Everest to the nearest mm.

Please see my post #40. (And if I’m missing something here, I hope someone corrects me.)
