Bernie Sanders wants to know where the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology got their education.

The snarky tweet was in response to the committee tweeting out a Breitbart news article denying global warming because it is getting cold.

“The last three years may eventually come to be seen as the final death rattle of the global warming scare,” wrote James Delingpole, a British columnist, in a Breitbart column shared by the committee

Delingpole, who is not a scientist, wrote that stories about this being the hottest year on record — USA TODAY reported in November that it is on track to be — weren’t science “but propaganda.”

Delingpole’s argument goes against NASA's view of climate and weather, as well as the scientific community's. The House Science, Space and Technology Committee oversees NASA.

Real scientists were not happy:

Delingpole jumped on the news that Sanders had reacted to the promotion of his piece.

"Sanders appears to have been especially irritated by the fact that the story was retweeted by the House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology," Delingpole wrote in a second column Friday. "If so, he’d better get used to it. As from next year, pretty much the entire U.S. government — both the presidential administration and Congress — is going to be in the hands of people who really don’t believe in the 'man-made global warming' scare story."

Breitbart is the far-right news organization that President-elect Donald Trump's chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, recently helmed. Bannon left this summer to work as CEO of Trump's campaign, and he will now head to the White House.
