Global mean sea level (MSL) continues to ----> rise The latest satellite altimetry data has now been processed through mid-2021: sealevel.colorado.edu
Note how the sea level isn't just rising―the rate at which it is rising is accelerating, by roughly 0.1 mm a year. To put it another way, in six years, the rate at which the sea level rises will have increased to 4 mm a year. In 16 years, to 5 mm a year. And that's assuming some major Antarctic ice shelves don't exponentially accelerate their melting, which recent research suggests is exactly what's happening.
