Standard practice for climate alarmists: if the data doesn’t support your narrative, torture it until it does. Measurements of sea level by satellite started in 1993, 25 years ago. Records of sea level rise by tide gauges go back to 1870, almost 150 years. You can see both at https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/sea-level/. In neither record is there any obvious acceleration of sea level rise, which has been inconvenient for the alarmist’s story that sea level rise is accelerating. There are brief periods during major El Niños when it increases for a year or two followed by level—or even decreasing—sea levels, but the long-term trend over the last 150 years has been fairly consistent. The only “acceleration” in sea level rise was clear back around 1930, long before human CO2 emissions could have had any measurable effect on climate. The really funny thing about satellite measurements and this flawed study is that satellite telemetry isn’t anywhere close to millimeter precision. The ostensibly sub-millimeter precision (3.2 mm/yr) is an artifact of statistical analysis. The even funnier thing is that up until just a few days ago, NOAA and NASA (and CU website at http://sealevel.colorado.edu/) reported the 25-year trend as 3.4 mm/yr but they have just adjusted it downward to 3.1 mm/yr. In other words their own data shows global sea level rise DECELERATED slightly, but only those who have been paying atttention regularly would know that.

when climate research dosnt give the answer you want its always el nino hiding the true effects except for when the numbers were all wrong and you had to correct them to match the changes you want to find.

When studying statistics at engineering college, it was commented, that you can prove just about anything with statistics, but whatever you prove may have absolutely no connection with reality, as it depends on what methods you choose to manipulate them. My home town is on a tidal estuary, and there has been no noticeable rise in sea level there. in some places, the road alongside the estuary is at almost high tide level, and used to be flooded on extra high tides. That has not happened in many years. In fact large areas of mudflats are now covered in grass, which would tend to indicate a fall in average sea level, rather than a rise. ('When the observed facts do not fit the theory, then no matter how elegant the theory, the theory is wrong!'....... Richard Feynman.)

Nik: Your making the assumption that the ground itself has not risen. Perhaps the grass is showing because other areas have subsided and your 'grass' area has risen. Bad logic.

"This acceleration, driven mainly by accelerated melting in Greenland and Antarctica"

I can't speak for the rest of the planet, but I have lived on a bluff in Encinitas, California for over 60 years. We were told that our bluff would erode away and our home would end up in the pacific ocean. I'm still here, my home is still here, and the bluff looks exactly the same as it did 60 years ago. So I see no evidence that the ocean waters are rising. The only thing that has risen dramatically is the value of my property.

There is not 25years of useable satellite data, and the data there is gets calibrated from one spot on land, and as everyone knows, every spot of land on earth is moving either up or down itself, including the shorelines of every city on the coast, and they're not all going the same direction.
On Australia's east coast, for example, the land is rising relative to the sea.
Get some perspective everyone.

Hard to believe how many deniers read a science site like Newatlas. Yes sea levels are rising, it is easy to measure, and they will rise more quickly. What's even more troubling is the level of ignorance about how a few anecdotal observations by laypeople serves to confirm their political agenda. I for one will not be investing in low lying land anytime soon...

At least there is an upside to this trend! When all the ice on Earth is melted, sea levels can't go any higher...
