Satellite measurements done over the last 15 years or so indicate a slightly faster change of around +3mm per year, and this is also reflected in the tidal measurement figures.
Dig a bit deaper on this one. There is more to it than that. The folk who measure the almost twice the land based measurements can not get their calibration right. They get consistent data with the land based measurements, but it is consistently double.
Figures can lie
.
Tidal rises and falls are normal. And they lag a long way behind the atmosphere. The warming of the oceans at diferent times throughout history has caused rises, the water expands, but it also cools.
None of this is from man made CO2 in the last 50 years, it must have been those coal burning Jet flying folk hundreds and thousands and Millions of years back.
Go find a paleoclimatologist and sit down and have a good chat about it. After all they are the very ones you need to talk to. It is truly enlightening.
