Abstract
Scientists have widely accepted that sea levels have been rising since the end of the 19th century due to human activities that warm the planet and melt land‐locked ice. Models of future sea level rise suggest that sea levels will continue to increase at an accelerating rate if emissions of greenhouse gases continue at the current rate. This has motivated a number of scientists to search for already existing accelerations in global and regional sea level during the past 2 decades. However, Dangendorf et al. note that current attempts to detect a significant acceleration in sea level rise might have overestimated the role of anthropogenic forcing.
