Sea level rise is all within the 2-3mm every year since the last ice age
"Core samples, tide gauge readings, and, most recently, satellite measurements tell us that over the past century, the Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) has risen by 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters). However, the annual rate of rise over the past 20 years has been 0.13 inches (3.2 millimeters) a year, roughly twice the average speed of the preceding 80 years."
That is 6.4 cm in the last 20 year. If that continue to double add 12.8 cm upto 2035, and add 25.6 upto 2055 plus 50 cm up to 2075 plus a 1m for 2075 to 2095. That makes 2m by 2100, so long as there is no sudden collapse of the Greenland ice sheet.
We may be safe but what about our grandchildren? Have you no conscience?
