Trump’s claim dramatically understates how much experts project sea levels to rise. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says that U.S. sea level in 2100 is projected to be at least 2 feet higher on average than in 2000.
Trump juxtaposed two global threats — nuclear war and rising sea levels — in his Nov. 15 announcement at his"You cannot mention the nuclear word; it’s too devastating. The Green New Deal and the environment — which they say may affect us in 300 years — is all that is talked about. And yet nuclear weapons, which would destroy the world immediately, are never even discussed as a major threat.
Trump’s quip got some laughter from the audience. But his dismissal of predictions for climate change-driven sea level rise is"so far from accurate as to appear to have been entirely fabricated," said Michael Oppenheimer, director of the Center for Policy Research on Energy and the Environment at Princeton University.Sea-level rise projections much higher than Trump’s claim
