Wow, an average rise of 2¾ inches over 63 years or an average rise of 5¼ inches over 19 years . . . what to believe, eh? Someone does not know their math or is doing some serious figure fudging, that’s for sure.

Like the east coast of the U.S , Ireland was under ice sheet. The crust is recovering from the weight and parts are sinking, which gives the appearance of sea level rise. https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2019/02/study-of-sea-level-rise-finds-land-sinking-along-east-coast/

Just look at water-level photos of Liberty Island in New York harbor during the 1890s vs today. That island doesn’t sit very high above the water, and it is obvious comparing the photos that there has been ZERO change in 130 years.

Someone should explain this to the wealthy American Political Left.

Before Covid, they were paying record prices for water front homes on Martha's Vineyard, in The Hamptons on Long Island, NY, and on Malibu beach in southern California.

Can someone explain how sea level rise can be higher in one place and lower in another when you remove variable factors like tides; which are mainly caused by the moon? If you take a measuring cup and add water the level goes up uniformly. The same happens with a swimming pool, and reservoirs. Seems to me that it doesn't matter the size of the body of water, it would remain uniform. I believe Alchemies would have something to say about this.

I don't know about Dublin, but I've seen similar stories about Miami and Manhattan. Knowing something about the construction of those cities (like most large coastal cities) they use land fill to expand the cities. It is impossible to have a historical measurement of tides because the measurement location has to be moved every time city expands. (It's really interesting to take a look at old maps of cities and compare them to present day maps.)

I have yet to get a straight answer than makes any scientific sense from a global warming nut job. Their thinking ends with glaciers melt and that causes sea level rise, as if glaciers melting is abnormal or something. It's part of their definition. Glaciers are supposed to melt, and became glaciers at the end of the last ice age when they began to melt. Prior to that it was just snow and ice pack.

I wonder how underwater volcano formation effects sea level.

Perhaps the land is subsiding because water being what it is will rise the same everywhere. Tides and storms excepted.

Researchers at the Hamilton Institute and ICARUS Climate Research Center at Maynooth University found that the Dublin sea level rose by an estimated 1.1 mm per year between 1953 and 2016.

I think it's even more miniscule than you imply: my math tells me that 63.63mm (not even 1 centimeter) over a 63 year period.

This is the very kind of data I've been looking for "them" to admit for years.

And what of the very strong possibility that the side of the island where this is being measured is slowly sinking?

There are so doggone many variables in trying to measure sea level change. And we know that stats don't lie but liars always cook the stats.

Click through to the sister article - (Why sea levels are rising higher than expected in Dublin and Cork) for the real weasel paragraph:

"Higher rates of relative sea level rise are expected in the southwest of Ireland due to Glacial Isostatic Adjustment whereby the removal of large ice sheets that covered Ireland during the last ice age causes land subsidence in the southwest and land uplift in the northeast of Ireland. However, models of this effect still leave nearly 20% of sea level rise in Cork unaccounted for. This could be due to local subsidence in Cork Harbour due to manmade or natural factors, or a wider signal of subsidence along the northwest European shelf, or the models for Glacial Isostatic Adjustment could be inaccurate."

Maybe the sea just doesn’t like Dublin.

Knowing the climate fools they’ve probably been measuring the sea level rise an hour before actual high tide for years then got it right by mistake.

Of the sea rise is not on average the same everywhere then this area is sinking
