According to NOAA, sea level rise is less than 2mm/year.
“global sea level rise is believed to be 1.7-1.8 millimeters/year”

NASA says it is more than double that and caused by humans.

According NASA, there was little sea level rise from 1980 to 1994, and then it suddenly accelerated in 1994 – right when they started using satellites.
The 2014 version of the same NASA graph does not show the 1980 to 1994 slowdown.

No tide gauges show this rapid increase in sea level after 1994.

Less than 6% of NOAA tide gauges show as much sea level rise as the NASA average.
And NASA claims that they calibrate their satellites based on tide gauge data!
After decades of the satellites showing significantly higher sea levels than the tide gauges they have failed to adjust. A sure sign of propaganda. And this tax payer objects to paying for satellites which have a primary mission of producing false data to advance an agenda.
Best explanation of sea level I have found. Like so many things that “science journalists” report on, it is far more complex than the simplified BS they “report”.

It’s clear that to prevent the death of science, the cult of “the science” needs to be removed from power. No science based agency should be run by the government. If the government funds an agency, then the board of that agency needs to be made up of non-political scientists. Government funding of universities should end, and individuals should receive a 100% tax deduction for grants which they provide to science based agencies and universities. The backdoor quashing of contrary scientific papers needs to have some severe penalty associated with it.
As a stupid amateur I wonder if something that orbits 20000 miles above
is the best way to observe sea levels that are measured in 1/10 of mm.
May be that something that can rise and fall by 1000 magnitudes faster than sea levels is not the most accurate thing for the job.
Something grounded and down to earth.
4 mm/year also means a 12 cm increase since 1994.
Why is this increase nowhere visible?
So, the average depth of the oceans has gone from 3,688.0 meters to 3,688.2 meters?
We are all going to die!
NASA pretends they have data to within two decimal places . . . for 361,000,000 km2 of ocean. Moe, Larry and Shemp are in charge.
Can you imagine how much and fast sea level would rise if Oceans were really warming?
With an average depth of of 3.5 km the thermal expansion should be very visible – even with no additional water from melting.
