Takeaways:
1. Yes, sea level rise is occurring. No, it is not accelerating.
2. Sea level values simulated by the IPCC are systematically too high, on average about 2 mm/year higher than the measured values.
3. The actual average rate of rise is 1.7mm +/- 0.4mm per year
4. At the current rate of rise, by the year 2100, sea levels will be 5 inches higher than today.

And here I spent $200,000 putting my home on stilts.

A new peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering challenges a key claim of climate science: that global sea level rise is accelerating. An analysis of more than 200 long-term tide gauge records shows no evidence of such acceleration, while IPCC models systematically overestimate local sea level rise.

The paper also shows that IPCC models significantly overestimate local sea level rise in 2020. This new publication is a follow-up to an earlier paper from 2023 in which first author Hessel Voortman demonstrated that sea level rise along the Dutch coast was not accelerating.

These two paragraphs are the opening of a press release sent out on August 29 by engineer Hessel Voortman. Voortman spoke about his sea level research at the Clintel conference last year. Together with Rob de Vos (blogger at klimaatgek.nl), he has now published a scientific paper in which they demonstrate that sea levels are not rising at an accelerated rate worldwide. This is a spectacular result because climate scientists have been crying wolf about accelerating sea level rise in recent years.

Lol. Stilts are for flooding and storm surge, not for permanent sea in your yard.
 
Well ... the quote from the abstract is "Statistical tests were run on all selected datasets, taking acceleration of sea level rise as a hypothesis. In both datasets, approximately 95% of the suitable locations show no statistically significant acceleration of the rate of sea level rise." [emphasis mine] ...

That's statistically different from "no acceleration" ... I wouldn't think 42 µm/yr/yr would haveany effect on how we engineer our buildings ... a single shaft of hair per year ...

For this we're supposed to panic? ...
 
The people who wrote the peer-reviewed OP article actually analyzed the collected data at the sea level stations, rather than looking at satellite imaging. Which would you say is the more definitive method?
I'm not the expert.

Which method do you want to be the most definitive?

You could ask Ding too!

Bangladesh is a good study subject.

I'm not an expert, but I think looking at the actual sea level measurements to see if they are accelerating would provide the most definitive answer.

But then I am not as impressed by appeals to authority as some.

It hasn’t deviated much from the trend of the last 6,000 years.
 
There is actually no ocean rise at all, hasn't been any for the past 100 years.
 
Ask them how this compares to the sea level rise of 6,000, 10,000 and 15,000 years ago? You know… for a little context.


What is your evidence of those sea level "rises?"

Well now, how many multi-billion dollar seaports were flooded by those rapid sea level rises? Yes, let us put that in context. About a 300 ft sea level rise as we came out of the last ice age maximum. However, at that time we did not have the huge infrastructure in ports that we have today. Even a 1 meter sea level rise would cause trillions in infrastructure damage today. And we will get that before this century ends.
