Oh dear zippy. You've correctly identified yourself as not having a degree though clearly you need one to avoid writing such idiocies as "ocean level doesn't rise, unevenly."
even the tiniest bit of research - had you done it, though you didn't - might have stopped you displaying your ignorance.
FYI, the Earth's seas aren't a bathtub, in which the water level would rise evenly.
let's turn to a scientific authority to find the correct answer to NASA's question of itself: "Are sea levels rising the same all over the world, as if we're filling a giant bathtub?"
below is NASA'e answer.
"No. Sea level rise is uneven, the two main reasons being ocean dynamics and Earth’s uneven gravity field," NASA said on an internet page marked sealevel.nasa.gov.
"First, ocean dynamics is the redistribution of mass due to currents driven by wind, heating, evaporation and precipitation.
"For example, during La Niña events, sea level goes down because some rain that usually occurs over the ocean shifts to land, and the same phenomenon produces low latitude currents that redistribute seawater. Regional climate cycles, like El Niño and La Niña, and longer-term effects, like the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, change ocean circulation, which changes sea level," the agency said.
"Second, because the distribution of Earth's mass is uneven, Earth's gravity is uneven. Therefore, the ocean's surface isn't actually a perfect sphere or ellipsoid, it is a bumpy surface."
Zippy, thanks at least for demonstrating the uninformed opinions of the antiscience climate denier rabble always need checking.
