HuffPost
The former president's denial of climate change hit a new low in an interview with Fox News.
Donald Trump wisecracked about rising sea levels in another burst of climate change denial, prompting snarky backlash. (Watch the video below.)
In an interview with “Fox & Friends” over the weekend that has produced several noteworthy moments, the former president and current candidate dismissed concerns on global warming.
Trump, who has called climate change a “great hoax,” said nuclear weapons were “the single biggest threat, not global warming.”
“They say that the seas will rise over the next 400 years, one-eighth of an inch, you know, which means basically have a little more beachfront property OK,” he remarked.
Chuckling can be heard in response, but to scientists it’s not a laughing matter.
