In the paper's defense, ChatGPT also stated ...The paper focuses on local tide gauge measurements—specific locations around the world. At many of those individual sites, it finds no statistically significant acceleration of sea level rise yet. But that doesn’t mean global sea levels aren’t rising faster overall, or that the processes driving sea level rise (melting ice sheets, thermal expansion of oceans, etc.) aren’t happening.
Here’s the key distinction:
Local vs. global trendsShort-term vs. long-term acceleration
- Local sea level can be affected by things like land moving up or down (subsidence/uplift), ocean currents, or regional climate patterns.
- So even if a specific tide gauge shows little acceleration, other places may be rising faster, and the global average can still be accelerating.
Climate-driven drivers are still real
- Detecting acceleration in sea level rise requires long, high-quality time series.
- A single 10–20 year window at one site may not yet show acceleration, even though the longer-term trend (decades to centuries) indicates it is happening.
So in short: The paper provides useful local perspective and highlights variability, but it doesn’t invalidate the larger scientific consensus that global sea level rise is accelerating due to climate change.
- Ice sheets (Greenland, Antarctica) are losing mass, oceans are warming, and thermal expansion continues.
- Those processes affect global mean sea level, and projections show acceleration over the century. Local observations may lag behind or differ due to regional factors.
But ...Voortman's decision to self-fund the study ensured that the research was free from external influences, allowing for an unbiased analysis of the data. This approach has been highlighted in various media outlets, emphasizing the independence of the research.
Satellite data and gravimetry (like NASA’s GRACE mission) confirm global sea level is increasing at ~3.3 mm/year over the last few decades.

- NASA's Satellite Data: Since 1993, satellite altimetry missions like TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, Jason-2, and Jason-3 have measured global sea levels. According to NASA, the global mean sea level has been rising at an average rate of approximately 3.3 millimeters per year over this period. This data is derived from precise measurements of sea surface height using radar altimeters aboard these satellites.
- GRACE and GRACE-FO Missions: The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and its successor, GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO), have provided complementary data by measuring variations in Earth's gravity field. These measurements help estimate changes in ocean mass, contributing to our understanding of sea level rise. Together with satellite altimetry data, they confirm the observed rise in global mean sea level.
- Scientific Consensus: Multiple peer-reviewed studies and reports from organizations like NASA and the European Environment Agency have consistently reported an average global sea level rise of about 3.3 millimeters per year since 1993. This rate has been accelerating in recent decades, primarily due to factors such as thermal expansion of seawater and the melting of glaciers and ice sheets
