Sea Level and Climate of the Past Century

During the past century global temperatures increased until about 1940, after which there was a decrease. Precipitation trends show a decrease from 1900 to 1940, and a definite global increase thereafter. Sea level trends for the eastern coast of the United States are parallel to, and presumably related to, the climatological changes.
