Donald Trump has said many times in the last few months that because of global warming, sea level will rise an eighth of an inch in several hundred years…

He usually follows by adding that “we’ll have more beachfront property.”

It is just about the stupidest thing one could possibly say about sea level rise.

So, because he said it, I have to assume it means 8 inches per yearsquared over the next 100 years.
