This and about 40 experience tracking satellites.

Cape Cod is moving west, and it has nothing to do with subsistence or upheaval, but erosion. The land to the east, seaward, side of Cape Code is eroding into the sea, and storms and tides are adding land to west , to the bay side. The amount of accretion to the west is about 20 feet in my lifetime. Much greater than any affect of global warming.
The adjustments to satellite orbits are valid, his point about orbit decay is wrong. I do not know about the isostatic rebound.
How about the accounting for the dropping of the ocean floor?
A lot of you are missing the point. Tuvalu is NOT “sinking”. In fact, it’s been proven to be gaining land mass. The alarmists tried to claim that it is sinking once before only to be proven wrong. And ... here we go again.

Time to move the outhouse!
Finally 90 Day Fiance made it here on the website.
Total trash television.
Love watching trainwrecks.
That is isostatic rebound. I don't know much about it or how it's accounted for. It sounds like a fudge factor to me, as Tony said, the inflection point happens to be exactly at the point at which the form of measurement changed.
It also isn't clear what the vertical axis "sea level anomaly" is meant to represent. Satellite altimetry can tell us the height of the sea above a reference gravitational potential potential with great accuracy, and the internal consistency gives very accurate estimates of the accuracy as well.
My suspicion is that isostatic rebounded was added to satellite data because the sea level wasn't behaving the way the alarmists wanted it to.

And they wandered in From the city of St. John Without a dime Wearing coats that shined Both red and green Colors from their sunny island From their boats of iron They looked upon the promised land Where surely life was sweet On the rising tide To New York City Did they ride into the street See the glory Of the royal scam
