Still has
there been a measurement where the average level of the sea is now 3"
deeper? I don't think so. Since water is self leveling this should be
happening all around the world. If is is not actually happening every
where, it ain't happening at all.


As was said elsewhere in these threads, apparent sea level rises are
complicated by subsidence, continental rebound from the ice ages, removal
of groundwater, etc, etc. And yes, that magnitude is easily verified.

Amsterdam, sea level has risen an average of 1.5 mm/year since 1850.
160*1.5=240 mm or just about 10 inches.
It is indeed a combination of subsidence and sea level rises.
