If Obama believes in Global Warming why did he buy oceanfront property at Martha's Vineyard?


Obama doesn't believe in global warming. If he did he'd build his mansion at a higher elevation than sea level.
Look at a map, genius.

See the topography map.


Obama home is 13 ft/4 meters above current sea levels. About 3ft of sea level rise, ie less than a meter is expected by 2100. It appears well placed to have sea views without being at risk of inundation from sea level rise within the next couple of centuries.

In any case rich people are at lowest risk from sea level rise; they have plenty of options, from bringing in rubble fill to raise the ground level to constructing sea walls or to engineering their homes better. Or moving someplace better and absorb any financial losses. It is poor people on low lying land below 3ft/1m elevation that are the ones being harmed by sea level rise.

This topographic map show the location between the 10ft and 20ft elevation lines -

Because he will be long dead before the sea level rises enough to threaten this house.
