The only good news in that scenario is he won’t be around for the next set of measures.

Sadly, when the world needs human beings with empathy and intelligence in charge to survive , we see imbeciles and selfish turds in their late seventies ruining the planet…

The actual estimate is between 2-3 meters (6-10 feet) or it could be as much as 15 meters (50 feet) if his “drill baby drill” and coal policies are actually implemented.

The press should be asking every GOP senator, representative and governor why they think lying is ok.

At its current rate, global mean sea level rises one quarter of an inch every 18 months. Furthermore, the rate has doubled over the past 30 years, as shown by satellite altimetry data.

His base dose not care about facts or logic

Sadly it is not just the Republican voter base that does not care about facts or logic. The 90 million Americans that didn't bother voting last fall also don't care.

The amount of things Trump doesn't know or is ignorant about has a name. It's called Wikipedia.

Trump, the dictator, Trump, the Fascist, Trump, the Economist, Trump, Trump, the Felon and now Trump, the Scientist. The world is flat, vaccines will give you a third arm, Putin is great and Trump is a superhero

Does this mean the Navy needs 0$ fir Norfolk, San Diego, the Pacific Island bases, and all the other bases that oddly enough, have sea-level infrastructure?
I once met ex-CNO Adm(ret) Gary Roughead, who certainly knew better.

I must face the obvious fact that America is full of stupid people who believe this nut job instead of doing their own research
