Donald Trump Vs. Sea Level Rise
Hollywood, Florida
Peter Aldhous for BuzzFeed News / Basemap by CartoDB / OpenStreetMap / Via coast.noaa.gov
“Located on 240 feet of pristine beach, Trump Hollywood offers spectacular views of the ocean,” boasts the Trump Organization on its website. Three-bedroom units in this 41-story luxury development are currently on sale for around $3 million apiece.
But by the end of this century, the ocean could be way too close for comfort. According to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 3 feet of sea level rise could turn the building into an island at the highest tides. Six feet would submerge most of the surrounding neighborhood.
But Donald Trump doesn’t buy any of that. Global warming, he has said, is “a total hoax” and “bullshit.”
With Trump’s climate-change denial becoming a campaign issue, BuzzFeed News has mapped the properties listed in his U.S. portfolio, superimposing the high tides projected by NOAA under varying amounts of sea level rise.
Three to six feet of sea level rise may sound like a lot. But it’s within the range that local authorities in Florida are planning for over the coming decades. The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, which represents the four counties in the region, last October estimated that by 2100, the sea would rise by between 28 and 58 inches above today’s average.
Our maps reveal a watery future. Here, for example, are the locations of two more Trump-branded properties at Sunny Isles Beach, about 5 miles south of Trump Hollywood.
Sunny Isles Beach, Florida
Peter Aldhous for BuzzFeed News / Basemap by CartoDB / OpenStreetMap / Via coast.noaa.gov
Although these buildings may remain just above sea level, access will likely be a problem by the end of the century, as much of the surrounding area disappears beneath the waves.
“Even though a certain property might be sort of dry, there’s going to be absolutely no way of getting to it,” Billy Brooks, a geospatial analyst at NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management in Charleston, South Carolina, told BuzzFeed News.
The properties at Hollywood and Sunny Isles Beach are not owned by Trump; he merely licenses his name to be used by the owners. But elsewhere in Florida, he has some major investments of his own.
They include the Mar-a-Lago, a private club and spa in Palm Beach, about an hour’s drive north of Hollywood, valued at $40 million by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Palm Beach, Florida
Peter Aldhous for BuzzFeed News / Basemap by CartoDB / OpenStreetMap / Via coast.noaa.gov
He also owns Trump National Doral, a luxury golf resort in the Miami suburbs, valued by Bloomberg at $130 million. Even though it lies more than 10 miles from the current coastline, 6 feet of sea level rise could turn golf at Doral into an amphibious activity.
Doral, Florida
Peter Aldhous for BuzzFeed News / Basemap by CartoDB / OpenStreetMap / Via coast.noaa.gov
NOAA’s maps of ground height are very accurate, but the timing of inundation is more uncertain. The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact is anticipating 3 feet or more of sea level rise by the end of the century, but it could come sooner than that. Alternatively, if the world’s nations manage to significantly cut their greenhouse gas emissions, the rise could be slower.
Neither the Trump Organization nor his presidential campaign responded to requests for comment on the impact of sea level rise on his property portfolio. But given widespread skepticism about climate change among Republican primary voters, Trump has political reasons to reject the scientific consensus on climate.
Last month, conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt asked him directly: “Do you believe that sea levels are increasing dramatically, Donald Trump?”
“No, no I don’t,” Trump replied.
South Florida Coast
Peter Aldhous for BuzzFeed News / Basemap by CartoDB / OpenStreetMap
Trump is far from alone among developers in ignoring the threat posed by rising seas. The South Florida coast is in the midst of a real estate boom, as developers scramble for rich profits, anticipating returns on their investment on timescales much shorter than the decades-long horizon shown on our maps.
“As a consultant, if a client came to me and asked about the prospects of developing oceanfront property, I would certainly think it would be appropriate to advise my client to consider the risks,” Larry Hirsh, president of Golf Property Analysts in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, told BuzzFeed News by email. “However, given that oceanfront property is scarce and in demand, I’m not sure the impact of sea level rise will be considered significant until something dramatic occurs.”
Dramatic events are always possible along a coastline threatened each summer by hurricanes. In August 1992, Hurricane Andrew caused the sea to surge up to 17 feet above its normal level near Florida’s southern tip. Rising seas will only increase the likelihood of catastrophic flooding if a major hurricane pounds the coast.
Even if developers aren’t yet worried about sea level rise, it’s on the radar of the architects they commission to design their projects.
“We think about making permanent additions to the city,” Allan Shulman, principal of Shulman and Associates in Miami, and a lecturer in architecture at the University of Miami, told BuzzFeed News. For Shulman, that means designing buildings that can withstand having their ground floors and basements flooded without suffering major structural damage.

City managers are also thinking about how to keep their communities alive as the Atlantic Ocean rises. Simply building barriers to hold back the sea isn’t an option: The region sits on permeable limestone, and water already rises up through the ground to flood low-lying streets at the highest tides.
Leading the way is the city of Miami Beach, which is two years into a $500 million project to raise roads by a couple of feet and install pumps to remove water from low-lying areas during storms and high tides.
“The conversation is not about retreat. The conversation is about adapting,” Susanne Torriente, chief resiliency officer for Miami Beach, told BuzzFeed News.
Still, scientists estimating sea level rise in the coming decades warn that the costs of defending vulnerable coastlines will eventually become prohibitive. And South Florida isn’t the only region affected. Here is another Trump-licensed property, a luxury hotel at Waikiki Beach on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.

Peter Aldhous for BuzzFeed News / Basemap by CartoDB / OpenStreetMap / Via coast.noaa.gov
Already, water can be seen splashing up from the storm drains near the Trump tower when the tide is high and the waves are strong, Chip Fletcher, a coastal geologist at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, told BuzzFeed News.
By the end of the century, Fletcher said, he isn’t optimistic about the luxury developments that today crowd Waikiki Beach. “They’re just going to end up as slums – as destroyed infrastructure in the surf zone.”

You Don't Need To Buy Period-Branded Painkillers
Let it flow, let it flow.
There are plenty of "pink" painkillers on the market.
But how effective are they really? A recent ruling in Australia banned painkillers from advertising for specific pains. So I got in touch with a scientist to find out: Lucy Donaldson, associate professor in life sciences at the University of Nottingham.
FOX/ New Girl
The first thing to understand is how period pain works.
"Period pain (dysmenorrhea) is most commonly thought to result from the release of chemicals called prostaglandins from uterine tissue," Lucy explains.
"This causes the uterus to contract, which causes cramping, but the prostaglandins are also known to cause pain, or make the body more sensitive to other things that will cause pain."
All the below drugs are thought to act by "stopping prostaglandins being produced. They belong to a class of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which are very widely used pain killers".
(In most cases, the NHS recommends an NSAID for period pain.)

This Robot Can Do A Rubik's Cube In One Second

He takes 4.90 seconds, and it's pretty amazing to watch.

However, there doesn't seem to be anything in the World Cube Association's guidelines which disallow that. The robot's builders are going to submit it to the Guinness Book of World Records.
The robot uses four webcams feeding into a PC, which uses an algorithm to solve the cube. The whole video is here.

In a large bowl mix together shredded chicken, celery, carrots, cream cheese, and hot sauce.
To form the potstickers scoop about a teaspoon amount into the center of a wrapper. Wet your finger and brush the top edge of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half and press and crimp the edges to close.
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Place the potstickers seam side up into the hot oil and leave to brown (once placed DO NOT MOVE - you want a nice golden brown on the bottom, right?). After about two minutes, or until desired color is reached, add 1/3 cup water and cover the saucepan. Leave to steam about two more minutes - or until the water has mostly evaporated and the potstickers have steamed. Uncover, remove from pan and serve with your choice of ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce.

A Former Model Told Us How She Stays Healthy
It’s a brisk but sunny mid-morning when Lorraine Pascale arrives at the BuzzFeed office in London. She’s running a few minutes behind – she decided to walk the last few stops to get fresh air – and her grin is ear to ear as she lowers her massive headphones from her ears and shakes my hand heartily. On the lift up, we chat about the crowded tube and the chilly weather and my excitement to try some of the recipes in her newest book, Eating Well Made Easy, a practical resource for people who want to eat tasty and varied healthy food.
At reception, we stop in our tracks to admire the front of office’s sweet selection: a literal paddling pool brimming with Haribo packets, Creme Eggs, and chocolate lollies. It’s not strange to me; we’ve always got a healthy stash of chocolate on hand in the office, but Lorraine utters a “wow”. I tell her to help herself, and she does; she dives right in, picking our conversation back up naturally as she sifts through the sweets pool.
Lorraine Pascale / Instagram
An important thing to know about Lorraine is that she isn’t afraid of comfort food or tasty treats. She’s been famous for her rich and decadent cooking for years, writing five books full of recipes for entertaining and holidays. In 2011, she began a stint as an on-screen chef for the BBC, hosting programmes on easy baking, home cooking, and Christmas dinner. And until last year, she was the proprietor of The Cupcake Bakehouse in Covent Garden, home of an unmissable blueberry cupcake that was no doubt the result of Lorraine’s training at the prestigious Leiths Cookery School in London.
Even her current foray into healthy recipes puts flavour first and allows ample breathing room for treating yourself. “Sometimes,” she tells me, “when you’re trying to follow a specific diet, the flavour suffers. So I wanted to use my experience as a chef to make sure the flavour was in.” In her new book, she collaborates with two nutritionists to provide recipes that she describes as “quietly healthy”. It’s nothing like the oppressive clean-eating fads that flood magazines but are so often too daunting for us mere mortals with lives and budgets and period cravings to hop on board with.
Rebecca Hendin / BuzzFeed
What seems to set Lorraine apart from so many of the current faces of healthy eating is down to an understanding and forgiving-yet-motivating approach to her readers . “I struggle with the idea that one diet can suit all,” she writes in her book. Rather than implementing a rigid eating plan, she’s more interested in helping readers carry on enjoying their favourite recipes, “but with bits of the recipe adjusted here and there, be it by cooking method or by ingredients, to make the recipes better for you”.
Lorraine Pascale / Instagram
She’s not asking you to start shopping exclusively at Whole Foods or to order goji berries in bulk. “I don’t even know where to buy them,” she admits, adding: “A lot of ‘healthy’ food doesn’t often fill you up. It’s expensive, and it’s just not practical. There’s many more ways to get the same antioxidants, the same things from stuff that’s easy to buy.” She tells me how she’d rather focus on helping people find ways to naturally incorporate healthy elements into meals they already enjoy. “To eat healthy is just to eat the food that you enjoy. There’s lots of everyday food that people enjoy that just so happens to be healthy.”
Pascale is no stranger to restrictive diets herself. A former model, she’s spoken before to the Huffington Post and the Daily Express about her old habit of living off “Diet Coke … with the odd croissant”, and the pressure on models to be as thin as possible. In her book, she discusses her struggles with bulimia and the “shame, guilt, disappointment, and fear” so often wrought by food and body image issues. These days, with a successful home cooking empire and the better half of a nutrition degree under her belt, Lorraine takes a different approach. “It’s about balance,” she says. “And realising you can’t do everything, you can just do good enough.”
Rebecca Hendin / BuzzFeed
Lorraine’s book isn’t the only place you can find her reinventing healthy eating without depriving your tastebuds. Her YouTube channel is an aspiring healthy snacker’s dream: Lorraine herself walks viewers through the step-by-step process to create quick and easy munchies from biscuits to healthy meals, and she takes her cue from viewer comments. “You told me you’re tired of having the same old lunch week in and week out,” she says to the camera in the introduction to a “Three New Healthy Lunch Ideas” video. “So hopefully this will add to making your lunch more interesting!”
Lorraine Pascale / Instagram
Instagram is another vital part of her healthy lifestyle initiative; the platform played a huge role in her early days of transitioning into a nutrition-based approach to cooking. “I began Instagramming healthy recipes like mad – developing them, cooking them, writing about them,” she writes in Eating Well Made Easy. But her feed is refreshingly light on magazine-worthy food porn. Instead, it’s a lovable jumble of foodie shots, gym selfies, and motivational quotes. “When you screw up, miss a workout, or eat a bad meal, it doesn’t make you a bad person,” reads a screenshot from early January. Lorraine adds her own caption: “Be gentle with yourself. We are all doing the best that we can do with what we have at the time.” The upload is surrounded by other shots you’d find on your own profile: An ever-so-slightly grainy snap of a raw noodle salad pops up between a motivational Disney meme and her completely adorable dog. It’s like catching up with a very put-together but very real friend.
Rebecca Hendin / BuzzFeed
She’s committed to showing followers an actual, real healthy person’s daily life, and what goes into maintaining a healthy lifestyle. “When I started thinking about my food as a way of life rather than a way to get thin,” she writes, “a safety valve released inside me … and made my relationship with food a more pleasurable one.” Her devotion to finding balance and happiness with her food choices echoes throughout her online presence, and she’s more relatable and trustworthy because of it. Recently, she uploaded a shot mourning a post-workout decision to forgo a Danish for a more nutrient-rich, but still very normal, snack of ham and bread. It’s a decision totally in keeping with her just-do-your-best approach, both online and in person.
Matthew Tucker / BuzzFeed
During our interview, I mention a BuzzFeed article about how Instagram has been used as a technique for documenting healthy eating, particularly for people who are recovering from an eating disorder. I ask Lorraine if she looks at food prep and food documentation not just as branding tools, but also as personal rituals that help her make and celebrate healthy choices rather than, say, picking up a takeaway curry on the way home. “Yeah, now I do get the curry now and then as well,” she retorts. “I don’t eat healthy all the time. Just most of the time.”
When I ask her again if documenting what she makes and eats plays a role in helping her keep up with her own healthy eating initiatives, she pauses thoughtfully before she nods. “It’s not like doing TV, when everything’s there for you. With this, you have to do everything: cooking and editing. It helps you reconnect better with the food, buying the ingredients, making the ingredients. It does help, and it’s a great way to be creative.”
Rebecca Hendin / BuzzFeed
The yin to her laid-back approach to healthy eating’s yang is her commitment to fitness and weight-lifting. In addition to her personal Instagram account, Lorraine also runs a fitspo page, Lift Yourself Slim, where she posts plenty more workout selfies as well as pre- and post-workout meals. It’s another breath of fresh air, since too often you get an edited version of staying fit online: a culture where green juices and hiking are the key to success, and sweat isn’t Instagram-worthy. “Motivation levels are teetering on zero... But I'm going anyway!” she announces on a recent gym selfie – it’s a great reminder that getting there is half the battle, even for former models turned chefs, and she gets that it’s tough on everyone else too. “So great you are staring out at the gym,” she tells several fans who comment that she’s inspired them to work out.
Across every platform, she’s adamant about leaving room for the process – and for giving yourself room to change – whether that’s in your eating or workout habits, or both. “It’s just making incremental changes,” she tells me. “Baby steps. And you can’t be hard on yourself if you can’t get into the groove. It takes a while to get yourself into the position where you’re doing it regularly.”
“It’s about balance,” Lorraine tells me again and again throughout our interview. “It’s about finding food that you like to eat.” And more than anything, it seems to be about cutting yourself some slack. “I just give recommendations,” she insists. “I don’t try to do all of them, I just follow the ones that I can.”
