Elevations in urban areas shown on the map may be higher than actual values due to radar reflections from the tops of buildings and other structures. This would result in flooding being more severe than shown on this map. For an interesting presentation of how sea level rise might impact important cities, see U.S. Cities We Could Lose to the Sea at Climate Central.org.

So I guess 36 years of Data is go enough for you.
The longest NOAA tide gauge data coastal sea level rise measurement record is at The Battery in New York with its 160 year long data record showing a steady rate of sea level rise of about 11 inches per century.

NOAA data begins in 1970 in that respect I meant 46.
I must be getting tired and it is late for me.
As far as "good quality" records from prior to 1970 what are you talking about exactly?
Given all you claim to know what you claim to know why would "good quality " records present some absolute in relation to your conclusions?
Especially under the circumstances.
Sea-level measurements were made using simple measuring poles or "tide staffs" until around 1830, when self-recording gauges with mechanical floats and stilling wells were introduced.[5] They were the primary means of sea-level measurement for over 150 years and continue to operate at some locations today.
While still part of modern-day tide gauge instrumentation, these technologies have since been superseded by pressure gauges, acoustic gauges or radar gauges.
AR5, 2014, indicated that the global mean sea level rise will continue during the 21st century, very likely at a faster rate than observed from 1971 to 2010.[5] Projected rates and amounts vary. A January 2017 NOAA report suggests a range of rise of 0.3 – 2.5 m possible during the 21st century

The Tidal gauge data does not begin in 1970.
The Tidal Guage data is NOAA data, it goes back MUCH further.
The Tidal Gauge data is not in dispute at all.
It's rock solid.
Satellite altimetry begins in 1993.

Are you even aware that all of the NOAA tidal data is based on what we call a Semi Empirical Midel?
Do you understand the distinction between an Empirical Model and a Semi Empirical Model?
I'm aware of the sources of error associated with Satellite Altimetry.
Do you understand that there are errors caused by both satellites angular declination(anything above 66' is skewed and the farther off point, the more skewed the data is?
Satellite altimetry data certainly does not include the collection of inland data points. It measures Global Mean Sea level. Therefore the effects of skyscrapers on the Satellite Altimetry data is a big fat zero. I can't believe you would think they are measuring inland data points lol, and you are trying to school me? Makes me chuckle.
Do you understand that a lot of this satellite data is based on measurements near coastal metropolitan cities. Can you describe the effects of skyscrapers on satellite data?
You don't know what you are talking about. This is not satellite imagery, it's satellite altimetry. What man made structures are you talking about, offshore rigs?
Do you know what the effects are or even that there were effects from man made structures on the satellite imagery and measurements? Once again... SEMI Empirical Data.
The tidal gauge dataset that NOAA has is not in dispute.
No, your data is not rock solid.
Climate engineering
Main article: Climate engineering
Climate engineering (sometimes called geoengineering or climate intervention) is the deliberate modification of the climate. It has been investigated as a possible response to global warming, e.g. by NASA[217] and the Royal Society.[218] Techniques under research fall generally into the categories solar radiation management and carbon dioxide removal, although various other schemes have been suggested.A study from 2014 investigated the most common climate engineering methods and concluded they are either ineffective or have potentially severe side effects and cannot be stopped without causing rapid climate change.[219]

I asked for evidence of an increase in total solar irradiance.
Pluto is undergoing global warming, as evidenced by a three-fold increase in the planet's atmospheric pressure during the past 14 years
In regard to Pluto, as I said, very long seasons and a short period of detailed observation.

NOAA tide gauge coastal sea level rise data measurements encompassing the 46 year period from 1970 through 2016 do not support and in fact clearly contradict the UN IPCC AR5 WG1 conclusion regarding supposed man made contributions to increasing rates of sea level rise since the early 1970s.

Dialing back the 10 foot hype – NOAA Tide Gauge Data shows no coastal sea level rise acceleration
Another affirmation of solar change comes from Pluto. Pluto resides on the icy outskirts of the solar system near a giant shell of astronomical bodies know as the Oort Cloud. Although Pluto resides in the coolest regions of the solar system, the dwarf planet is heating up. Specifically, Pluto’s atmospheric pressure has increased by 300 percent, which is more than any other planet in the solar system. Even more paradoxical, Pluto’s atmosphere is becoming denser as it travels farther away from the sun. Due to this, scientists suspect Pluto is at the forefront of a high energy region of the galaxy that the solar system is beginning to reside in.
Their is no doubt that human activity is impacting climate change. Nevertheless, there are other forces outside the solar system that are effecting climate inside the solar system. Whatever the case may be, Earth can expect a rough ride as it travels through foreign warm waters.
