Hansen wanted to show a non-existent increase in sea level rise rates, so he simply cheated by tacking on a different measurement system after 1993 – and throwing in a completely fake Global Isostatic Adjustment in the post 1993 data.
This graph bears no resemblance to the actual slow down in sea level rise which has occurred since 1954.
On the decadal rates of sea level change during the twentieth century
S. J. Holgate1
Received 17 October 2006; accepted 21 November 2006; published 4 January 2007.[1] Nine long and nearly continuous sea level records were chosen from around the world to explore rates of change in sea level for 1904 – 2003. These records were found to capture the variability found in a larger number of stations over the last half century studied previously. Extending the sea level record back over the entire century suggests that the high variability in the rates of sea level change observed over the past 20 years were not particularly unusual. The rate of sea level change was found to be larger in the early part of last century (2.03 ± 0.35 mm/yr 1904 –1953), in comparison with the latter part (1.45 ± 0.34 mm/yr 1954 – 2003). The highest decadal rate of rise occurred in the decade centred on 1980 (5.31 mm/yr) with the lowest rate of rise occurring in the decade centered on 1964 (1.49 mm/yr). Over the entire century the mean rate of change was 1.74 ± 0.16 mm/yr.
