Trump is such a liar the he changes his lies as he goes.
In the next 30 years alone, ocean levels are expected to rise 10 inches. That’s 1000 times higher than Trump’s made up number, and that’s only in the next 30 years; let alone 300 years.
In short Trump pulled the number out of his ass.
“Facts First: Trump’s claims about sea levels are not remotely close to accurate. As the federal National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has noted, the global sea level is currently rising at about 1/8th of an inch per year. In other words, the sea level rise Trump claimed people say will happen over 300 years is actually happening annually. NOAA says that, along the United States coastline in particular, sea level rise is expected to average a total of 10 to 12 inches between 2020 and 2050 alone.”
