But has there actually been sea level rise? If the ice is melting where is the water?
> The global mean water level in the ocean rose by 0.14 inches (3.6 millimeters) per year from 2006–2015, which was 2.5 times the average rate of 0.06 inches (1.4 millimeters) per year throughout most of the twentieth century.
The ice age had a big impact on sea levels, estimates of 100m lower than it is today
On geological scales we are at or near a high point [2] after the previous ice age

The only other path that leads to environmental tracking is if some order of monks developed an obscure interest in it in pre-industrial times.
I do have a question though. The graph presented starts in 1880 and rises linearly from then, with no correlation to a graph of CO2 levels, which had far more exponential growth between 1880 - 2010s, until recently.
As I understand it, the mini-ice age finished in the 1800s. And started in the 14th century.
So, is this actual evidence? There doesn't seem to be any visible acceleration from what was always happening pre-global warming. And can be blamed on the mini-ice age finishing.
Most worryingly is that page, from scientists, doesn't even address that obvious objection. It briefly mentions sea levels have risen from the 1880s, but doesn't at all address that eyeballing the graph it seems quite obviously linear.
Even more misleading is the graph someone else has linked which starts in the 1990s and doesn't show the rest of the data.
Perhaps you're looking at the graph on a phone screen, which compresses the scale and de-exaggerates the changes?
Look at the slope of 1900 to 1950. Then look at the slope of 1970 to 2020. Are you telling me that's the same slope?
