The graphs I see all show the sea levels rising at the same or an increasing rate. Where do people get th eidea that it is slowing?

That is based on old info. The claim was that after 2010, or something, sea level rise had stopped.

None of these sites show global sea level to be slowing and after the short fall it has continued on it's course....Show more

It is very unlikely that sea level rise will continue to be linear. But as Earth warms, sea level rise is more likely to speed up than it is to slow down....Show more

I am not sure either, although there are plenty of articles around that try to explain the slowing rise ( like they try to explain the pause) http://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrSbDutN1xUSjgAyJ1XNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTEzaTlxbmlpBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDOARjb2xvA2dxMQR2dGlkA1ZJUDUzMF8x/RV=2/RE=1415358510/RO=10/RU=http%3a%2f%2fwww.rtcc.org%2f2014%2f03%2f24%2fslower-sea-level-rise-linked-to-el-nino-and-natural-weather-patterns%2f/RK=0/RS=6TJF7aoRci7aolRmX3gtCichuuc-
