    So I’m looking at this chart in the article on sea level rise by location:

    I feel like I’m lacking some key knowledge here. How can the sea level rise be different in different parts of the coast? Shouldn’t the average sea level rise be roughly equal worldwide?

    Even if there’s like a new strong current constantly pushing water into Galveston I’d expect it to average out over time. What am I missing?
