Or you could believe this study that makes more sense.. Just like "man made global warming" they really can't figure it out with any confidence.. but it looks to be nothing special...

Unfortunately, there are complicating factors beyond the issue of PGR, and published results reflect a lack of consensus as to how to deal with them as well. In addition to whether or not PGR was explicitly modeled, differences between analyses include data record length, tide gauge station selection criteria, and analysis method. The inability of investigators to arrive at a consensus concerning the rate of global sea level rise, or even how to approach the problem, has led some authors to conclude that global sea level rise cannot be measured at all. Barnett [1984] states that ``it is not possible to uniquely determine either a global rate of change of sea level or even the average rate of change associated with the existing inadequate data set.'' Emery and Aubrey [1991] state that (p. 176) ``At present, we cannot discover a statistically reliable rate for eustatic rise of sea level alone'' Pirazzoli [1993] is the most pessimistic, declaring that ``the determination of a single sea-level curve of global applicability is an illusory task.''
some things are certain.. there were no accurate measurements before 1990... some areas are rising and others are sinking.... Ocean levels have risen at a faster rate in the past.
and... every predicition that has been made for the rate we have today has been greatly exaggerated.
they take us for suckers cause we are...
every article you read tells you the horror that will happen decades from now.. none is honest enough to tell you nothing bad or unusual has happened yet or.. will happen next year.
