Former President Donald Trump keeps using wildly inaccurate figures to minimize the threat of climate change.

Trump, now a presidential candidate, has argued in speeches and interviews that the risk of nuclear war is a much more important issue than climate change. He is entitled to his opinion. But he has repeatedly defended that opinion by citing imaginary statistics on the extent to which sea levels are expected to rise in the future.

In a Fox interview this month, Trump echoed a claim he made in his campaign launch speech in November. He said on Fox: “When I listen to people talk about global warming, that the ocean will rise, in the next 300 years, by 1/8th of an inch – and they talk about, ‘This is our problem.’ Our big problem is nuclear warming, but nobody even talks about it. The environmentalists talk about all this nonsense.”

Well, if consistency is a virtue, then Donald Trump is a saint.

As long as the ideals, arguments, theories, practices and pursuits of everything climate change is motivationally profitable [from all sides] - that's all that matters.

More nonsense from you. And the salient thing you forgot to mention is the science. You've got nothing.
