Nor have the seas raised an inch.

Nor have the seas raised an inch.

Technically not correct. Sea levels have continued over the last 20 years to rise at a rate of approximately 3 mm/year, as they had for about 120 years.

That means that over the last 20 years they've risen about 60mm, or about 2.4 inches.

This may be an over-estimate by as much as half, according to other sources. But that would still give us more than an inch over the 20 years. :)

Here's the best compilation of understandable data on sea level change that I've seen.
