Coral reefs and sandstone formations
And then there’s BadHombreNPS. (There’s a long list of them. Long and growing.)
Global sea levels rose 17cm in the last century. The rate in the last decade, however, is nearly double that of the last century. #climate

Unlike certain, um, individuals, @ArchesNPS's sandstone formations are *naturally* orange due to the presence of hematite. #science #geology

Could be that Trump has recently taken options on a whole bunch of real estate in Patagonia and Alaska, in anticipation of rises in value due to climate change, which he is not interested in trying to slow down or stopping.
Global Mean Sea Level Rates
CU: 3.3 ± 0.4 mm/yr
AVISO: 3.3 ± 0.6 mm/yr
CSIRO: 3.3 ± 0.4 mm/yr
NASA GSFC: 3.2 ± 0.4 mm/yr
NOAA: 3.2 ± 0.4 mm/yr (w/ GIA)
http://sealevel.colorado.edu/
A rate of 3.3 mm/yr is 33 mm per decade, 330 mm per century and 3,300 mm (3.3 metres per millennium world-wide). That can only be due to glacial ice melt and/or thermal expansion of ocean water, not to comets falling into it or anything like that.
Nor can it have been going for long, otherwise it would have been noticed world-wide by historians, harbour authorities, and damn near everyone else: even Donald Trump This suggests rather strongly that the mainstream climatologists are right, and that it is anthropogenic: ie since the Industiral Revolution got started, around AD 1750.

Couldn’t possibly be. Don’t you see that word ‘mainstream’ in there? Isn’t the way to disprove something to all it ‘mainstream’? It must be part of the establishment, the liberal intelligentsia trying to warp our minds by feeding us facts when what we really need are alternative facts.
Damn, we’re going to lose a lot, aren’t we?
@1
Yes the oceans ARE rising, but evidence suggest that’s been the case since long before the industrial era. 14 centuries ago the tidal mud-flats now surrounding Mont St-Michel in France were oak forests. That areas only marginally above sea- level were being consumed by oceans HAS been noted by historians.
@2 Is there any scientific consensus on just why things suddenly became colder at the end of the Roman era only to warm up again during the Middle Ages? There have been wide swings in climate occurring long before the industrial age that were documented by the people living through them.
John @3: “There have been wide swings in climate occurring long before the industrial age that were documented by the people living through them.”
“Wide” is a relative term. A useful visualization:

John – you can deny all the scientific evidence, and make it the way you want it to be. The fact is, what is happening now is without precedent, it is larger and faster and is tied to human causes.
I will not bother explaining the evidence to you here…it is not a quick, blog post type process, and you probably have heard it already. I will recommend you read the work “A Skeptic’s Guide to Global Warming” by Donald Prothero. Of course, if you don’t like that one, there are hundreds of other resources to explain all that to you.
It was the Homer Simpsons of the US who installed Trump into the White House*. So we finish up with their ideas on climatology running the whole US game. Trump is truly their representative, and is doing his best for them. Give him a chance. ;-)
He is also not taking a cent in salary for what he does. Maybe that has legal implications, and will look good in court should push ever come to shove down the track: as in prosecutions arising out of impeachment. Meanwhile, all around the world, glaciers are melting, transferring heat from the atmosphere to the oceans as they go.
*Maybe the White House is in line for a respray to make it another colour. Gold most likely.
