Recently I was admonished with words to the effect that 'it is a fact that sea levels are rising'. That was a pretty broad statement to make especially with no evidence to back it up other than to some reverence to the epitomy of all sources of truth - Wikipedia. Wikipedia may be referencing the 'predictions' of sea level because those are always rising to put us in a state of panic.
The TOPEX satellite data shows the 60 day smoothed trend is still stalled and shows no rise over what was seen since the peak in mid 2010.
And the really interesting data is from ENVISAT, which shows no upward trend. Sea level is in fact lower than eight years ago, and according to the graph just passed the lowest annual peak in the Envisat record.
Look for yourself at the data shown here.

Of course this is just my humble opinion backed up by satallite data.
