Not sure why I am a co-author as did not do anything.... (maybe that is why I am #6). A summary would be good. Here is my suggestion. 1) Global sea-level controlled by climate forcings. 2) No acceleration in All because of slow recovery from Tambora + anthropogenic forcings. 3) All simulation has significantly less sea-level rise than do obs. 4) North Atlantic sea-level is strongly influenced by AMOC. 5) Tropical sea-level rise strongly correlated with global sea-level suggesting we should focus our paleo sea-level data collection efforts here. 6) Limited sites suitable for paleo-sea level and they don't show much skill!
