An environmental organization hired by The Trump Organization is using climate change to obtain permission to build a coastal wall to protect Donald Trump’s golf course in Ireland.

The beachfront golf course, Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Clare County, is threatened by sand dune erosion due to severe storms.

The Trump Organization, which manages Trump’s ventures and investments, is seeking permission from the Clare County Council to build a stone wall along the beach to mitigate erosion.

The wall is supposed to be two miles long and made of 200,000 tons of rock.
