HOW COULD SEA LEVEL RISE FASTER THAN TRUMP SAYS ?

SINCE  TRUMP SAYS  SEA LEVEL RISE ONLY SERVES TO  INCREASE WATERFRONT PROPERTY VALUES, TUCKER CARLSON NATURALLY LAMBASTES FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA AS A CLIMATE HYPOCRITE, FOR BUYING A HOUSE ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD,



IN CONTRAST TO OBAMA'S VIEW FROM 
A HILL HALF A MILE FROM THE OCEAN 
ON AN ISLAND A HUNDRED YARDS HIGH:
The Vineyard stands high enough to see Newport from Gay Head
TUCK'S  FLORIDA BEACH HOUSE SITS  ON A SANDSPIT
 A STONE'S THROW FROM THE SEA
MAX. ELEVATION 13 FEET

 I LIVED A MILE SOUTH OF HIS PLACE, UNTIL A STORM TIDE SENT SALT WATER UNDER MY  DOOR,
  AN EVENT MY TEXAN NEIGHBORS MET WITH GOOD GRACE, AS  OLD BOCA'S CHARM OFFSETS THE RISK
OF ITS BEING A GALVESTON WAITING TO HAPPEN:

 WHILE HURRICANE IAN  UNSURPRISINGLY INUNDATED TUCK'S BEACH HOUSE,  TUCK AND HIS FAMILY WERE ABSENT , SAFE IN THEIR CUSTOMARY HURRICANE SEASON RETREAT, 
A MAINE TOWN TWENTY MILES INLAND , WHERE WATERFRONT PROPERTY
 MEANS A POND  700 FEET ABOVE  SEA LEVEL


WHEN MILTON HIT, THE CARLSONS WERE AGAIN THANKFULLY ABSENT WHEN THE BEACH PAID A CALL ON THEIR BEACH HOUSE:

 AND GASPARILLA ISLAND SUFFERED NOT A SINGLE HURRICANE CASUALTY, THE ENTIRE POPULATION HAVING PRUDENTLY AND PROVIDENTIALLY GOTTEN OUT OF DODGE, WOMEN & CHILDREN FIRST, AND SHERIFF & FIRE DEPARTMENT LAST
