We keeop hearing that "sea levels are rising".

Can anyone point me to a proper scientific study or set of facts which shows that sea levels have actually risen and if so, by how much and over how long a stretch of time.

So, between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago it rose dramatically but in more recent times,(the last few thousands of years) it has continued to rise but at a much lower rate.

How do they distingusih between coastlines which are sinking, due to crustal movement, and actual waters rising.

Is the volume of liquid water in the oceans greater now than at any point since 25,000 years ago?

Must be a very smart measuring tape then.

I wonder can they pinpoint all the individual factors affecting all the individual coastlines all over the world?
