Are sea levels accelerating-?

Global mean sea level (GMSL) has been rising at a faster rate during the satellite altimetry period (1993–2014) than previous decades, and is expected to accelerate further over the coming century

    NO

    They have used the Mikey Mann trick of tacking on satellite measurements onto to the tide gauge data.

    Tide gauges up to 1993 and satellites thereafter, however tide gauge data continues to show a linear rise of 1.7-1.8 mm per year, this from stations all around the world

    Until 2003, even its own satellite-based evidence showed no upward trend. But suddenly the graph tilted upwards because the IPCC's favoured experts had drawn on the finding of a single tide-gauge in Hong Kong harbour showing a 2.3mm rise. The entire global sea-level projection was then adjusted upwards by a "corrective factor" of 2.3mm, because, as the IPCC scientists admitted, they "needed to show a trend.

    I believe the Tide gauges not the algorithm adjusted satellite data.

    From this study, yes.
