| President Trump dismissed the subject of sea level rise last year: |
“The world is going to be destroyed because the oceans are going to rise 1/100 of an inch within the next 300 years.
It’s going to kill everybody?
It’s going to create more oceanfront property.
That’s what it’s going to do.”

But he told Tucker Carlson last week that things were 12 times worse:
"The Ocean will rise in the next 300 years by 1/8th of an inch."— Former President Donald Trump

As his post-indictment estimate represents a rate rise of 112% a month, fears of sea level hyperinflation spread like wildfire through Truth Social as MAGA-hatted survivalists rushed inland, and short positions crashed on the Chicago Carbon exchange.
The exodus was catalyzed when Trump's latest prophecy was instantly fulfilled on prime-time:
As Trump delivered his epochal warning to the visiting Fox News science anchor two feet of rain deluged the shore within golf cart range of Mar A Lago.
Shock turned to alarm when QAnon Marine Kraken release expert Sidney Powell connected the dots on past and present Ex-presidential sea surface level rate rise predictions, and Tweeted the resulting "Hockey Stick" curve.
The rate data flatlined from 2016, when candidate Trump dismissed sea level rise entirely as part of a Chinese climate change hoax, until 2021, when it upticked to almost a micron a year.*
But with Trump's latest bombshell revelation, the CPAC consensus rate of change rose an order of magnitude, raising fears of a hundredfold increase between now and the 2024 election.
