Thoughts on Climate Change - Part 12: What is driving sea level rise?

According to this graph, based on evidence compiled by the Hadley Center, NASA and NOAA, we see little to no sign of global temperature rise from 1850 through 1910, a period of 60 years: 









Oceanic temperatures also did not begin to rise until roughly the same time:


Yet sea levels began to rise steadily from at least 1880 and probably sooner:

Thoughts on Climate Change -- Part 11:Tamino's Trick

The "hiatus" -- the period from roughly 1998 to 2015, in which the steady rise of global temperatures, so strongly evident during the latter part of the 20th century, appears to have leveled off, contrary to the expectations of "climate change" advocates, who've been trying desperately to explain it away for many years. At least 66 different explanations for the hiatus were published by 2014 and many more have been offered since. My own personal favorite was proposed by blogger "Tamino" back in 2014 (updated in 2018):

Thoughts on Climate Change -- Part 10: The Aerosol Excuse

Climate change advocates have been exceptionally ingenious in devising various ways to “cook” the raw data in such a manner as to fit their favored theory despite evidence to the contrary. For example, a common attempt to explain away the mid-twentieth century temperature hiatus is the frequently stated claim that an underlying warming trend was masked by industrial aerosols (i.e. pollutants) emitted, ironically enough, by the same process that also emitted large amounts of CO2.
