It is known that from 1900 to date, the average global sea level has increased between 16 and 21 centimeters; of which, seven centimeters have been from 1993 to the present.

This means that in addition to an increase, there is an acceleration. The sea can rise naturally, but what is being observed at this time is definitely related to human activities. What are the forecasts?
