New study in Nature by Lin et al shows how the sea-level rise from the melting Ice Age ice (a total of 120 meters rise) ended thousands of years ago. Until our fossil fuel use started a new phase of rising seas. Graph shows the global mean rate of rise. 🌊 nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

2 Major interpretation errors 1- The number of points in early holocene cannot spot rapid changes in sea level rise . Do not indicate decadal or centurial changes 2- The increase start in 1850 so 120 years before any significant anthopogenic forcing that start around 1970

can it be you forget that we were still thawing (!) out of an ice age (driving CO2 out) when the man made emissions kicked in?

"The increase start in 1850 so 120 years before any significant anthopogenic forcing that start around 1970" Source for this? Don't forget the black carbon, here, for example, in the Alps: pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pn…

Well , the elephant in this graph is the use of the RATE of the sea level variation instead of the sea level variation … it just shows that for thousands of years , this rate was much higher than today’s.
