Satellite data shows that sea levels have not been rising faster in last 20 years
'A top Swedish climate scientist says that satellite data confirms that there has been no acceleration in sea level rises over the past two decades. “We now have satellite measurements for 20 years which indicate a steady rise of about 3 mm per year, and during that time no acceleration,” commented Lennart Bengtsson, a senior research fellow at the Environmental Systems Science Centre at the University of Reading, on the Swedish blog Stockholms Initiativet.'
