Breitbart News mocked "climate alarmists" last week in an article observing that "global land temperatures have plummeted by one degree Celsius since the middle of this year." The article is led by a video from The Weather Channel, and The Weather Channel is none too happy about it.

"Note to Breitbart," the website responded Tuesday. "The Earth is not cooling, climate change is real, and please stop using our video to mislead Americans."
