Michael E. Mann, climate scientist and author of “The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines,” must be tired of hearing that the uncharacteristic weather that surprised much of the nation this holiday season wasn’t definitive proof of climate change but rather an effect of El Niño.
Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders might have been in a panic because “nobody can recall a Christmas Eve where the temperature was 65 degrees,” but Mann has a scientific explanation that handily fits inside a tweet.
No–record warmth isn't just "El Nino". It's RECORD STRENGTH El Nino + human-caused climate change = dramatically more likely heat extremes.

Now if someone tries to tell you El Niño is the cause of recent weather systems, you’ll know that it’s El Niño combined with human-caused climate change to blame.
@MLiebreich @MarkSteynOnline @BDiNunno @alannogee @MichaelEMann Is that Michael Mann the Nobel laureate?

“Joint” Nobel laureate and serial blocker.

@MichaelEMann @Drift0r That's interesting. I wonder why many of the record temps that were tied or broken were set 50+ years ago?

@MichaelEMann please check nasa data on climate change before being a misinformed individual. Also, research the carbon cycle. Then tweet

@Mrosko89 @MichaelEMann @Drift0r start by not flying on airplanes or driving a car. Get to walking from Alabama.

@drinking_coco @Mrosko89 @MichaelEMann @Drift0r Yeah, driving is too much fun to quit, and airplanes are too damn convenient.

Especially when it’s nice warm golfing weather and your airplane is named Air Force One.
