But, "... Another problem is untangling short-term from long-term trends. The rate of sea level rise has *mysteriously slowed down* in the most recent decade, for example. .."  (From your reference.)  ;-)

As the article indicates, the Devil is in the details.  Also, presently, "... we are probably committed to 1.0 meter of sea level rise ..."

Fair enough.  Geologists tell us that the culmination of the last interglacial period (when global  temps were last like they are now), sea level was probably ca. 2.0 meters higher than what you and I see today.

Good link - thanks.
