“[That’s] imprecise and misleading … it implies sea levels have continued rising since then …”
Reality:
Sea levels HAVE continued rising. The fact-checkers’ own sea level graphs show that,

Here’s Climate Feedback’s source for the last 20,000 years:
Climate Feedback also asserts that “in the last 6,000 years, global sea level was stable … until an increase in the rate of sea-level rise 100–150 years ago.”
But their own source shows it rose about 10 feet over the last 6,000 years. [p.15301 of this PNAS academic source, the source that Climate Feedback’s source cites for its data, per its footnote 60.]
