This factual, succinct article on sea level changes has been sent to me. It is consistent with otherevidence - as against conjecture.

Rising SeaLevels–The Climate Debate
The seasand oceans to the east of Australia form the largest body of water on Earth.
Thisbroadly connected vast body of water presents a genuine sea level. The SydneyFort Denison Recording Station provides stable, accurate and genuine mean sealevel data.
Thefollowing table shows mean sea levels at 10 year intervals and
theselevels are related to Chart Datum which is at the lowest spring tide level.
100 YEARSOF MEAN SEA LEVELS AT FORT DENISON, SYDNEY:
1914 –1.11metres
1924 –0.98metres
1934 –0.98metres
1944 –0.97metres
1954 –1.00metres
1964 –1.09metres
1974 –1.09metres
1984 –1.02metres
1994 –1.04metres
2004 –1.08metres
2014 –1.12metres
2019 –1.05metres
Accordingly,the mean sea level at Sydney in 2019 is 6 centimetres lower than the mean
sea levelat Sydney in 1914 when the Bureau Of Meteorology commenced recording
Mean SeaLevel.
High SeaLevels during Storm, Cyclone & Low Pressure Events.
BBC and ABCcommentators have asserted that sea levels may permanently rise by 1 to 2metres in the next 100 years. 100 years of records on the largest water body onEarth indicates that this is incorrect.
There havealways been short period storm and low pressure rises in sea levels. Thehighest recorded sea level at Sydney occurred during the 1974 low pressurestorm. The sea level rose to 30 cm above high spring tide level for one day.During recorded history there has been no indication whatsoever of a 100 to 200cm permanent rise in sea level.
There willalways be short period storm, cyclone and low pressure rises in sea levels inclose proximity to cyclone and storm centres. These storm centre rises in sealevels are not permanent.
Oceanswells and storm waves can exceed 16 metres during major storm surgeevents. It is these massive waves that have caused significant damage tocoastal and island communities in the past. It is certain that huge stormevent waves will occur in the future and will cause significant damage to theisland and low lying communities. Coastline and flood zone protection is thesane answer to storm event damage.
It ispolite and essential that the world population should avoid incorrect climatenonsense. We need to divert the alarmist energy to caring for the planet. Ceasepolluting the oceans. Prevent development of flood prone land and threatenedcoastal zones that have been, and will always be, subject to flooding.
