Satellite observations available since the early 1990s provide more accurate sea level data with nearly global coverage. This decade-long satellite altimetry data set shows that since 1993, sea level has been rising at a rate of around 3 mm yr1, significantly higher than the average during the previous half century. Coastal tide gauge measurements confirm this observation, and indicate that similar rates have occurred in some earlier decades.
Only your ignorance lets you read that with anything like acceptance. Historically, tidal markers have put sea level rise at 2mm per year practically since the time tides have been measured. Then the year the sattellites started measuring, the number magically went to 3 mm. Do you actually believe that sea level rise coincidentally increased 50% the very year the satellites went on line? If you do, then you are exactly as stupid and gullible as I believe you to be.
