I have no idea of the significance of these numbers. Is a 1mm rise a lot? Is a 1m rise a litte? I literally have no idea, I trust that the people who do this for a living probably know better than I, though.
How does this study relate to pre-1993 sea-level rises? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it looks like this is since 93?
ETA: When I said "I call", it was as to the specific claim that sea level rises have not accelerated since the industrial revolution. Do you have a study that demonstrates this? Is it this one and I've missed something?
ETA #2: For the avoidance of ambiguity, let's call "Industrial Revolution", 1850. Or, if you want 1950. But not 1993.
