"A new first-of-its-kind study by Dutch researchers finds no evidence of a global acceleration in sea level rise because of climate change.

"The peer-reviewed paper, 'A Global Perspective on Local Sea Level Changes,' published in the 'Journal of Marine Science and Engineering' last month is the first study to be based on local data taken from coastal sites around the world, rather than on models based on extrapolations.

"The study, which was conducted as an analysis of more than 200 tide-gauge stations worldwide, cuts against the long-standing belief among climate scientists that climate change is leading to rapidly accelerating sea level rise.

"The research, conducted by Dutch researchers Hessel Voortman and Rob de Vos, found that the average rate of sea level rise in 2020 is only around 1.5 millimeters per year, or 15 centimeters per century.

"'This is significantly lower than the 3 to 4 mm/year often reported by climate scientists in scientific literature and the media,' Voortman told independent journalist Michael Shellenberger."

"Voortman was shocked that no researcher before had performed an analysis of real-world local data.

“'It is crazy that it had not been done. I started doing this research in 2021 by doing the literature review. Who has done the comparison of the projections with the observations?’"
