    Sea walls have been around worldwide for centuries. This one, The Ancient Sea Wall at Batroun, Lebanon, was built by the Phoenicians during the 1st century.

    So are you saying Trump is too stupid to plan a golf course without need of building a sea wall when none is currently needed?

    Is your pic stupidly suggesting the oceans were higher in the First Century?

    Did it ever occur to you that its' all about location, location, location, and a sea wall, like thousands of others across the globe, protect his investment? BTW, if Trump is stupid for buying property that might someday benefit from a sea wall, then please describe the intelligence of the New Orleans population for me. Thank you very much.

    Why would 1st century people build a sea wall, to keep the water in?

    Did the area need a sea wall to start with? no. Is the sea wall built to protect from current conditions? NO!

    1st Century people built a sea wall because they NEEDED ONE THEN.

    Trump didn't build a sea-wall to then build a golf course. Because his golf course doesn't need one NOW.

    It's like you don't understand how sea walls work.

    It would appear you're confident in knowing what things were like in the first century. Can you enlighten us?

    So you think we don't have a decent understanding of ocean level in 1st century? Is that what you're suggesting?

    You're trying to tell us that Trump is building a sea wall due to global warming, but 1900 years ago people also built sea walls. So did we have global warming 1900 years ago or are sea walls common around the globe?

    And I see how you avoided commenting on the intelligence of Chocolate City's population who all live behind sea walls.

    What are you talking about "first seawall"? The golf course currently DOES NOT NEED A SEAWALL.

    Not as decent as you think, unless you've got a time machine hidden away somewhere that we don't know about. Have you ever met someone from the 1st Century?

    Oh I see, You really don't understand the use of seawalls.

    Seawalls are generally used to create safe harbors (your example of Lebanon) or to reclaim land (Netherlands).

    Seawalls are used to prevent erosion of built-up land.

    But here's the thing...none of that applies to Trump's golf course.

    - - - Updated - - -

    We have a very decent understanding, plenty of well built ports exist from 1st Century. Pyraeus, Ostia. To name two. Their 1st century constructions tell us plenty about the sea level then. Not to mention a bunch of other methods of determining paleo-sea-levels.

    I keep forgetting the sea level has never changed EVAH before AGW alarmists came along.

    It's amusing that Trump's golf course doesn't need a sea wall, and he's building it for a 1 meter rise in sea level, but the posters here all they have is references back to a 1900 year old sea wall that was needed at the time where it was built.

    - - - Updated - - -

    So is Trump preparing for natural sea level rise? You goofball we already disproved your anti-global warming bunkery.

    You have no theory as to why the climate is changing right now.

    The sun is the same irradiance.

    The earth is in a cooling phase of its orbital pattern.

    And volcanic activity is at a minimum.

    What do you mean? Seawalls (if Im understanding you correctly) are needed because of global warming is coming to get us. So since its never happened before then by default this has to be the first seawall.

    Wait...if he doesn't need a sea wall then the seas aren't rising, then why the global warming alarmism? What about natural erosion? Coming from NJ I used to read a lot about erosion occurring during the storm seasons and occasional tail end of a hurricane.

    It's hard to argue that NOT needing a sea wall is proof of global warming when the alarmist argument is the other way around.

    Sure...do you think that's wise when he's running for President?

    Do you want a President who panders to people and lies openly and then makes himself look like a hypocrite?

    Enjoy losing 2016.

    I see, the sea level DID change before the alarmists came along and took over it. I think I have now. Tell me how you are doing it. Are you throwing all the old pet rocks in the ocean?

    You can't comprehend that events in the past have different causes than events today?

    Do you think the country is following this story or even cares? Trump is using the left's arguments to his advantage, wouldn't you?

    You can't comprehend the same causes in the past are still present today?
