rising sea level? 2 mm / year (2mm =.079") I think its crap?

Sea level measurements from 23 long tide gauge records in geologically stable environments show a rise of around 8 inches per century (2 mm/year).
Changes in sea level since the end of the last glacial episodeSea level rise is an increase in sea level. Multiple complex factors may influence such changes.

Sea level has risen around 130 metres (400 feet) since the peak of the last ice age about 18,000 years ago. Most of the rise occurred before 6,000 years ago. From 3,000 years ago to the start of the 19th century sea level was almost constant, rising at 0.1 to 0.2 mm/yr.[1] Since 1900 the level has risen at 1 to 2 mm/yr; since 1992 satellite altimetry from TOPEX/Poseidon indicates a rate of rise about 3 mm/yr.[2] The IPCC notes, however, "No significant acceleration in the rate of sea level rise during the 20th century has been detected."[2]

Answer 2

If each and every of the ice interior the international melted, the sea point upward push may be someplace around 2 hundred feet or sixty one,000mm. as much as now purely a tiny element of the excellent ice has melted. It feels like lots interior the Arctic, however the ice there is truly skinny, and it is likewise floating ice, which does no longer develop the seal point, as became stated above. lots of the ice interior the international is in Antarctica, the place that's as much as two miles thick. That has somewhat began to soften. the international temperature has purely bigger around a million.5 deg. C interior the final 150 years. whether it is going up so lots greater, it is going to take 1000's of years for all of the ice to soften. the sea point upward push might get speedier, even though it is going to nevertheless purely be some mm in step with 365 days.

Answer 3

Yes it is.
