It doesn't explain the rate of change very well at all. It really needs to explain how much the rate of ocean rise has changed over the 12 year period. By itself, the fact that the oceans have risen an inch and a half over 12 years is not very alarming. After all, if the rate is constant that means a mere ~12 inch rise by 2100--hardly anything concerning. What it really needs to explain is how much of that rise happened in the last say, the last two or three years. Anyone know the answer?
