Youth climate group Sunrise Movement announced a digital ad running in battleground states that blasts former President Donald Trump’s views about climate change.

The ad, called “Trump Doesn’t Care About You,” highlight’s Trump’s comments about sea-level rise. “The ocean’s gonna rise in 400 years, an eighth of an inch. And you’ll have more seafront property, right, if that happens?” Trump says in the video clip.

“I said, ‘Isn’t that a good thing?’ If I have a little property on the ocean, I have a little bit more property. I have a little bit more ocean,” he says.
