[Douglas Fenner]

Satellite snafu masked true sea-level rise for decades.

Open-access.

I note that they say that the new calculations fit with tide gauge records
around the world, all sources of info on sea level now agree.  I also note
that they report that average sea level rise around the world is now nearly
4 mm per year.  Sea level rise is of course important for coral reefs.

Cheers,  Doug
