UPDATE: Global average sea level continues to rise at 3.4 millimeters (0.13 inches) per year since 1993. The IPCC says we will see more sea level rise in the 21st century, with extreme events (like severe coastal flooding) happening every year by the end of the century: https://sealevel.nasa.gov/understanding-sea-level/key-indicators/global-mean-sea-level | NASA Climate Change

Rise in sea level due to temperature change projected with interactive maps The global sea level has risen about 8 inches since 1880, and the rate of rise is accelerating. The effects of climate change can be seen all around us. To help us better visualize the change, one organization has produced animations of what sea-level rise will look like around the world and close to home.
