Evidence of No rising sea levels
Sea level rise is a well-documented phenomenon supported by extensive scientific research, although some claims attempt to challenge its extent or interpretation. Here are key points based on current understanding:
1. **Rising Trends**: Global sea levels have risen approximately 20 cm since 1900, with the rate of increase accelerating due to factors like thermal expansion of seawater and melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. Satellite data confirm a current average rise of 3.7 mm per year [oai_citation:1,Is sea-level rise exaggerated?

2. **Regional Variations**: Sea level rise is not uniform across the globe. For example, areas like the Pacific islands have experienced rates higher than the global average due to local factors such as ocean currents and land subsidence [oai_citation:3,Sea level rise is a global threat here's why | World Economic Forum](https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/09/rising-sea-levels-global-threat/) [oai_citation:4,RealClimate: Sea level in the IPCC 6th assessment report (AR6)](https://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2021/08/sea-level-in-the-ipcc-6th-assessment-report-ar6/).
3. **Adaptation Strategies**: Some nations and communities are investing in measures to mitigate the impacts of rising seas, such as constructing seawalls and relocating vulnerable populations. However, these efforts face challenges due to financial and logistical limitations [oai_citation:5,Sea level rise is a global threat here's why | World Economic Forum](https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/09/rising-sea-levels-global-threat/) [oai_citation:6,RealClimate: Sea level in the IPCC 6th assessment report (AR6)](https://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2021/08/sea-level-in-the-ipcc-6th-assessment-report-ar6/).
4. **Counterclaims**: While some sources argue that evidence of significant sea-level rise is overstated, the vast majority of peer-reviewed studies and climate assessments support the observed increases. Contrarian arguments often emphasize localized effects, such as land uplift, which can obscure broader trends [oai_citation:7,Overview | Understanding Sea Level NASA Sea Level Change Portal](https://sealevel.nasa.gov/understanding-sea-level/overview) [oai_citation:8,Sea level rise is a global threat here's why | World Economic Forum](https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/09/rising-sea-levels-global-threat/).
If you'd like a deeper dive into specific data or methodologies, I can explore particular aspects further.
It appears ChatGPT has read the internet and disagrees with you.
You're misusing ChatGPT, classic case of garbage in, garbage out. It's a glorified search engine that patches up content without critical evaluation of said content.
There are hundreds of tidal gage measurements out there from across the world, some dating back to the end of the 17th century.
None of them show a significant change in the rate of increase of sea level rise.
It's hilarious that you think a steady rate of change means that sea level rises aren't important.
There are two important conclusions from the graphs above:
-
the rate of sea rise has been steady since 1800, which means that it has been driven by natural forces rather than human activity.
-that rate is very small, which means it is not the existential problem it has been built up to be by alarmists.
