It’s my opinion that Trump has a strong instinct, but that he is not that smart. In the past, he has wrongly stated that climate change was a “hoax.” His campaign and prior administration have largely embraced planet-warming fossil fuels and opposed regulations aimed at addressing climate change.
Over the next 30 years, sea levels along American coastlines are expected to rise by close to a foot, according to a 2022 federal report, and up to 7 feet higher in 2100. Of course, if the entire volume of glaciers and ice caps on the planet were to melt, global sea level would rise by up to 230 feet, flooding every coastal city on the planet.
More recently and on several occasions, Trump has addressed climate change by saying it wasn’t the biggest threat and claimed it would create “more oceanfront property.” Specifically, he’s said during interview with Elon Musk on the social platform X that « The biggest threat is not global warming, where the ocean is going to rise one-eighth of an inch over the next 400 years … and you’ll have more oceanfront property.”
An elementary school kid would know that, but Trump shows the typical real estate agent naivete, plus some serious mental limitations, not just because of his being close to 80 and beginning to decline!
