Latest NOAA Mean Sea Level Trend Data Through 2013

[firstfloor]

All three of the above are links to studies published in 2011, none of which were based on NOAA data; thus, they are off-topic in this thread, the subject of which is "Latest NOAA Mean Sea Level Trend Data Through 2013".

If you think two years or so makes any difference you really don’t have a clue what you are talking about.

If I'm reading it correctly, I think the emphasis is on the RATE is not increasing. The sea level is still very slowly rising...but the 2 mm rise per year seems to be holding steady. At 2mm per year, the sea will rise approx. 3.3 ft (or 1 meter) in 500 years

If you look further than your favourite brain washer you will discover what NOAA thinks.

Here is an excerpt from what you term my "favourite brain washer":

As discussed in detail below the latest mean sea level rise trend data from NOAA simply does not support IPCC assertions that mean sea level rise trends are increasing since 1971 [my emphasis].

Here is what is said by NOAA (to which you have linked) [brackets added]:

Records and research show that sea level has been steadily [my emphasis] rising at a rate of 0.04 to 0.1 inches per year since 1900.

This rate may [my emphasis] be increasing. Since 1992, new methods of satellite altimetry (the measurement of elevation or altitude) indicate a rate of rise of 0.12 inches per year.

This is a significantly larger rate than the sea-level rise averaged over the last several thousand years [my emphasis].

The contradiction is not between NOAA and "my favorite brain washer"; rather, the contradiction is between UN IPCC AR5 WGI, on the one hand; and, on the other hand, NOAA and my "favourite brain washer".

With regard to the uncertain ("may}) statement: "This rate may [my emphasis] be increasing. Since 1992, new methods of satellite altimetry (the measurement of elevation or altitude) indicate a rate of rise of 0.12 inches per year" ― any change from previous measurements may be attributable to the change in the "new methods of satellite altimetry".
