"One of the most common arguments climate alarmists make is that the rate of sea-level rise is “accelerating” or rising faster every year.
Sea-level data reported from satellites indicate seas are rising approximately of 3.3 mm/year.
By contrast, tidal stations have recorded a rise of approximately 1 to 2 mm annually, a rate which is little changed over the century or so for which we have adequate records.
Indeed, as reported in Climate at a Glance: Sea Level Rise, the oldest tide gauge in the USA, in New York City, shows no acceleration at all going back to 1850.

The answer it turns out is simple.
When NASA and NOAA launched new satellites, the data they produced wasn’t the same as the data recorded by earlier satellites.
...This is either incompetent or dishonest, and certainly not up to even the simplest of basic science principles.
Virtually any high school or college student who presented such work for a class would get called out on it by their instructor for showing a false trend...Read all.
