Projections are based on measures of Relative sea level rise, and models of sea level rise based on projections of hypothetical mass melting of polar ice. We know that Absolute sea level rise is about 2 mm per year, and has been for over a century, and is not accelerating.

There is a reason why the article avoids using absolute sea level change, as it would defeat the alarmist agenda. Empirical measures suggest a sea level rise of about 50mm by 2050. IOW about an inch and a half. And that’s assuming present trends maintain. A cooling trend would slow it down to even less, and we are probably facing a cool-down any time if not already begun.

Does the report explain how the sea level will rise faster in Texas and Louisiana than elsewhere?
