President Trump in a new interview again pushed back on claims of global warming, stating that polar ice caps have hit "a record level," according to reports.

"The ice caps were going to melt, they were going to be gone by now, but now they’re setting records. They’re at a record level," Trump told British television host Piers Morgan in an interview set to air Sunday night on ITV News.

Trump also reportedly appeared to lump global warming and climate change together.

"I mean, look, it used to not be climate change. It used to be global warming. That wasn’t working too well because it was getting too cold all over the place," Trump said.

[Vinca]

5. What a fucking idiot. They're at record LOW levels.

He needs to read something every so often. Yesterday he "liked" a tweet about Wynn being a perv.

[PatSeg]

32. Maybe he heard that

and absentmindedly cherry picked the words "record low levels". What an idiot, but his base will believe him.

6. His stupidity is at a record level

Arctic sea ice extent for December 2017 averaged 11.75 million square kilometers (4.54 million square miles), the second lowest in the 1979 to 2017 satellite record. This was 1.09 million square kilometers (420,900 square miles) below the 1981 to 2010 average and 280,000 square kilometers (108,100 square miles) above the record low December extent recorded in 2016. Extent at the end of the month was below average in the far northern Atlantic Ocean and Barents Sea, slightly above average in western Hudson Bay, and continued to be below average in the Bering and Chukchi Seas. Near-average conditions prevailed along the eastern coast of Greenland and in the Sea of Okhotsk.

December air temperatures at the 925 hPa level (about 2,500 feet above sea level) throughout the Arctic Ocean were 2 to 6 degrees Celsius (4 to 11 degrees Fahrenheit) above average. Prominent warm spots were found over north Central Asia and Central Alaska (more than 10 degrees Celsius, or 18 degrees Fahrenheit above average), as well as over Svalbard and Central Siberia (nearly 6 degrees Celsius or 11 degrees Fahrenheit above average). Temperatures were 2 to 3 degrees Celsius (4 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit) below average in Eastern Siberia.

9. Aggressively, blindly, ideologically, dangerously fucking idiotic and insane.

Trump and his Russpublicans are going to be the death of EVERYONE. The current administration is a massive failure by any measure. The country is being held hostage by these fascist assholes. Get them the fuck out, by any (legal) means necessary.

And that parenthetical "legal" above was an afterthought.

12. With Trump, EVERYTHING is the best, biggest, and record setting.

That's his shtick. That's the only thing he knows. He really is a dumb bastard who doesn't have a clue about what he is talking about.

This is one that sticks with me "I know more about taxes than the greatest CPA".

Bullshit. He knows nothing about taxes. He just knows that his shady accountants figure out how to skirt the system.

Trump is a conman of the worst kind.

[smirkymonkey]

13. Thank you President Shit-for-Brains.

We are in awe of your wisdom.

[Javaman]

and trying to get a reaction out of us.

I refuse to give him that pleasure.

when he utters anything crazy now, it no longer surprises me. his "shock" value has no value.

27. Each day brings a new preposterous lie from Trump.

How in the world can the mouth breathers still have confidence in him?

28. It is one thing to be ignorant

It is another thing to parade that ignorance across the globe while believing you are knowledgeable and informed.
