Trump: Polar ice caps are ‘at a record level’

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.

If the Republicans can live with us, I’d say there’s a case for having the whole party banned.

I wonder if all the denying of global warming comes down to I don’t want to change my lifestyle and by the time it’s really bad I’ll be dead

There is also an element of rapture-ism from the evangelicals. That it doesn’t matter because there is going to be an apocalyptic war followed by the return of jesus and the believers all go to heaven and blah. Sounds like crap but is a strongly held belief in some that they are living near the end times and it will all be over soon.

Yeah I’d believe that as well, if a god was real and it created our planet it would be pretty damn annoyed we are wrecking it

God is omnipotent. If we are wrecking the planet it’s because s/he wants us to do so.

Also why they are so pro-Israeli.

Some good news at last.

But what he says is true.

Some people have claimed that all the ice could be gone by now, and the ice is at record (low) levels.

The Rev Dodgson said:

and the ice is at record (low) levels.

From the context, that isn’t what he meant…

Yes, a cunning true statement conveying an untrue message.
