claim: Together, these two unaltered [ sea level ] datasets indicate that global mean sea level trend has remained stable over the entire period 1992-2007, altogether eliminating the apparent 3.2 mm / year rate of sea-level rise arising from the “adjusted” data.
evidence: Since 1900, the sea level has risen at an average of 1.7 mm ( 0.067 in ) per year; since 1993, satellite altimetry from TOPEX / Poseidon indicates a rate of about 3 mm ( 0.12 in ) per year.
