Well after finding another water trends page on the NOAA site, it says there is a .433 millimeters per year increase. If that's the case its going o be a helluva a lot longer than a 100 years and that's only if the trend comtinues. Here's a chart that shows just how small .433 mm is. It would be a little less than half of 1 mm:

So basicall the guy is full of shiite. I also noted that "water trends" is a new category on the NOAA site which I bet was requested by the administration. They arrows all over a map of the US where water levels are up but after looking at the actual data on them the sea level rises are so minimal I get the impression they are probably there to create "the sky is falling" pandemonium

The continents are always rising or falling, nothing new.

Finland is rising,a result of “ice age rebound,” and rising at a much faster rate than whatever change is happening in the Netherlands.

Also, think about displacement: If the sea is receding in one place, it causes sea level to rise in other places. So “cherry picking” stats is very easy. Of COURSE sea level is rising in some places. Always has, always will.

A new analysis of global tidal gauge data by Jevrejeva et al (2014) suggests that the increase is less than 2 mm per year since 1970. That is an inch every 13 or 14 years or 7 inches per century. There are definitely substantial regional variations and there is even more local variation due to land settling or rising - isostatic changes. I believe what is more significant for Miami is waterfront development and the diverting of tidal flows from some areas into others, extraction of groundwater and the sheer mass of structures on the shoreline.

Your image is helpful but needs to be shrunk to scale. Currently your 1” looks like 3” on my screen.

What you need to do is compare the current rate of rise to that before Obama took office. That way we can judge the success of his sea level reduction program
