Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders mocked the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space & Technology for tweeting a Breitbart article suggesting that global temperatures were in a “plunge” — despite scientific consensus saying the opposite.

 On Thursday, the official Twitter account of the Republican-led committee sent out a link to the right-wing media outlet in a tweet that read, “Global temperatures plungy. Icy silence from climate alarmists.”
