Donald Trump is yet again claiming that global warming isn't occurring because, well, because it's "really cold" in New York City today.
Forget that not only is this year going to go down as the hottest year on record globally, but it will, in the words of Joe Romm at Think Progress, “crush 2014,” which holds the current record.
