Yes pollution is bad and ice melt influences sea level; but what about ocean water rise from human freight traveling by sea?
Seems at least a third of the problem is the amount of shipping in the oceans on ships.

Global Volume: Approximately 90% of all traded goods globally move by sea. Total annual seaborne trade volume has reached roughly 13 billion tons.
1 ton displaces
A fully loaded large cargo ship displaces an amount of water that equals its total weight, typically ranging from 50,000 to over 200,000 tonnes (or cubic meters) of water.

@NudasPriest helpful is there a way to also account for compression from cargo being flown over the ocean simultaneously?

Weight and volume: A floating ship displaces a weight of water equal to its own total weight (including cargo).
Global total: Estimates place the combined weight of all commercial, military, and private vessels on Earth at roughly 2 billion tons

Planes in the air increase the air pressure, which compresses the water. 🤓
@exchrist It's my terribly scientific hypothesis.
