The CSSR, on the other hand, follows the lead of some prominent climate scientists in hiding the large fluctuations in the rate of sea level rise over the past century, presumably because they make the past three decades seem less unusual. The report misleads by omission in not mentioning either the strong decadal variability of sea level rise during the twentieth century or the fact that the then most recent values of the rate were statistically indistinguishable from those during the first half of the twentieth century.
