SLR rise from 1993-2019
<https://www.climate.gov//sites/default/files/BAMS_SOTC_2019_sealevelrise_1000px.jpg>

while the global avg was 3.3 mm/yr over the 20y period, some areas have
shown upto 20 cm of SLR in the same time -- i.e. more than 7.5 mm/yr.
Eagle eyed readers will spot higher (darker blue) levels around Fla
and the E US coastline. Glug glug glug.


The latest data shows even the global SLR rate is continuing to
accelerate quickly with a rise of more than 6 mm over the 12m
2018-2019 -- a new record. Again, some large and key regions of the
show 2x that kind of rate.

Climate Change: Global Sea Level

Rebecca Lindsey
January 25, 2021

Global mean sea level has risen about 8-9 inches (21-24 centimeters)
since 1880, with about a third of that coming in just the last two and
a half decades. The rising water level is mostly due to a combination
of meltwater from glaciers and ice sheets and thermal expansion of
seawater as it warms. In 2019, global mean sea level was 3.4 inches
(87.6 millimeters) above the 1993 average--the highest annual average
in the satellite record (1993-present). From 2018 to 2019, global sea
level rose 0.24 inches (6.1 millimeters).
