It's clear looking at the this graph that the Tahiti figures are distorting the picture and generally representing something different to the rest of the data - the variance is just too high, and they change by 12-14m sometimes within less than a 50 years or so.

At a minimum, I think it would be more useful to show how the graph would look without these measurements, otherwise I think this is a misrepresentation.

And I do wonder how we'll save Tahiti if their sea level does often rise and fall by 12-14m in 50 years? If that is natures normal rhythm, then I think many of us may be in trouble.

I guess it is still possible to include these measurements if you use an appropriate method to reduce the significance of their variations, given their obviously huge variance in the normal course of things.
