Dialing back the 10 foot hype – NOAA Tide Gauge Data shows no coastal sea level rise acceleration

… meanwhile California sea level rise “model study” claims 10 foot rise by 2100

NOAA has just updated its coastal sea level rise tide gauge data including actual measurements through year 2016 which continues to show no evidence of coastal sea level rise acceleration.

These measurements include tide gauge data coastal locations for 25 West Coast, Gulf Coast and East Coast states along the Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, 7 Pacific island groups and 6 Atlantic island groups comprising more than 200 measurement stations.
