Sumdumbguy posts his anecdotal guestimate of ocean levels from his holiday beach chair and I post research from a world class scientific organization.
Only sumdumbguy thinks his opinion is better than the thousands of scientists who use very accurate scientific instruments, methods and analysis to measure sea level!
I guess that's what happens when you drink to much and get to much sun!
Sum's chosen name says it all!
Here's your answer Sum. Now have another beer in you beach chair and take some more sea level measurements!

Climate Change: Global Sea Level
By Rebecca Lindsey Reviewed By Rick Lumpkin, Greg Johnson, Phillip Thompson, AND William Sweet
Published April 19, 2022
Highlights- Global average sea level has risen 8–9 inches (21–24 centimeters) since 1880.
- In 2022, global average sea level set a new record high—101.2 mm (4 inches) above 1993 levels.
- The rate of global sea level rise is accelerating: it has more than doubled from 0.06 inches (1.4 millimeters) per year throughout most of the twentieth century to 0.14 inches (3.6 millimeters) per year from 2006–2015.
- In many locations along the U.S. coastline, the rate of local sea level rise is greater than the global average due to land processes like erosion, oil and groundwater pumping, and subsidence.
- High-tide flooding is now 300% to more than 900% more frequent than it was 50 years ago.
- If we are able to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, U.S. sea level in 2100 is projected to be around 0.6 meters (2 feet) higher on average than it was in 2000.
- On a pathway with high greenhouse gas emissions and rapid ice sheet collapse, models project that average sea level rise for the contiguous United States could be 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) by 2100 and 3.9 meters (13 feet) by 2150.
