The biggest threat is nuclear warming
The fuck?
Pretty much. It's like listening to two people trying to have a detailed conversation about a book, but one of them didn't read it, and read a review of some other book instead, and the second didn't read anything at all, and is just confabulating.
We need to remember that flaming ball of nuclear death in the sky that's cooking us; that's the important nuclear warming.
Quick shoot nukes at it to dissipate the heat!
I think the better option is to command an army of tigers.
Well, people who don't have oceanfront property right now will have one soon without having to move. /s
Yeah, no joke. That is very likely what he means.
Well you see, the oceanfront properties we already sold will be underwater, so we can build new ones and sell them again!
At the risk of being nerd sniped, I wonder if that's true or false. The intuitive answer is with higher sea levels more land would be underwater, meaning the land area has decreased and so its perimeter should decrease; in some cases lowlands like Florida or islands would completely disappear. But low lying basins flooding and turning into bays might offset that...Call XKCD.
Aside from that, if all the current waterfront property goes underwater, then previously undesirable land will slowly become more valuable, once we know where coastlines will land (it depends on when and at what temperature warming starts to flatten out). When that happens, it becomes another avenue for wealth transfer to the rich.
Flatten out? That's optimistic
well, eventually we'd run out of ice to melt.
I think liquid water still expands when heated, so the oceans would still have quite some potential for sea level rise after the ice was gone.
I mean new ocean front property is somehow more if you don't remove the lost property. /s
Knowing Trump he technically meant New ocean front property deals
They're not reducing the 30g chocolate ration. They're increasing it to 25g.
The guy is just so ignorant.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
