Humans don’t seem to be to blame for the early 20th century sea level rise, nor for the sea level rise in the 19th and late 18th centuries

See The blame game by Judith Curry.
"Sea level has been overall rising since the last ice age, with some ups and downs.  Sea level has been rising for the past 200 years.  The rate of sea level rise during the period ~1925-1960 is as large as the rate of sea level rise the past few decades.  Human emissions of CO2 became large after 1950; humans don’t seem to be to blame for the early 20th century sea level rise, nor for the sea level rise in the 19th and late 18th centuries.  Humans are not going to stop sea level rise on the time scale of a few centuries by ceasing emissions of CO2."
