THE SEAS ARE RISING BUT NOTHING TO SPEAK OF IN RIO DE JANEIRO
Guterres said: “Surging seas are coming for us all – together with the devastation of fishing, tourism, and the Blue Economy. Across the world, around a billion people live in coastal areas threatened by our swelling ocean. Yet even though some sea level rise is inevitable, its scale, pace, and impact are not. That depends on our decisions,” said Mr Guterres, reiterating his urgent calls for drastic cuts in greenhouse gas emissions and increasing in climate adaptation.

“The ocean has taken up more than 90% of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases and is undergoing changes which will be irreversible for centuries to come. Human activities have weakened the capacity of the ocean to sustain and protect us and—through sea level rise-are transforming a lifelong friend into a growing threat,” he said. Already we are seeing more coastal flooding, shoreline retreat, salt water contamination of freshwater supplies and displacement of communities.” The scary doomsday warning from the IPCC.
NOAA data indicates that Rio de Janeiro, specifically Guanabara Bay, has experienced a sea level rise of approximately 1.3 mm per year based on monthly measurements from 1963-2017, with a significant shift in tidal patterns and mean sea level due to climate change and human impact.

Thermal expansion of the ocean and the rise and fall of shorelines would add to the variables of accurate measuring.
We spent a lot of time in Tasmania and did a lot of in fishing off piers where the high and low tide marks were clearly visible but impossible to tell of any change in levels one way or the other with such a narrow margin of error..
There is very little sea level rise according to NOAA data. In Sydney harbour sea level rise was zero. They tried to show sea level rise was a result of ice melting at the poles but recent data suggests that the volume of sea water does not change.
Thoothukudi in India has annual sea level rise of 0.54 mm and 5.48 cm (0.18 feet) per 100 years.
Why did Trump win the election so easily.? Because he has stood up against the scientific elite and given the country back to the people. The sea level rise scare, like the global warming con, is starting to fall apart. Go to Nexus sea level rise check on any country.
Judging by the photographs it would it appear more likely that the sea levels around Mt Sugar loaf have receded. This might be due to the reclaiming of land around the shore line.
NOAA, which has been reliable source of data, may cease to exist if it is to be restructured or sold as a result of the DOGE initiative.
Your previous heading was all over the place but I see that you have rectified it recently.
NOAA have a chart showing sea levels across the world. Cape Cove, NSW, shows a sea level 38 mm which is virtually zero.
