Zeldin spoke at a conference of the Heartland Institute, a free market group that denies that humans are contributing to climate change.
Scientific research shows that burning fossil fuels has increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to the highest level in human history.
That traps heat, raising temperatures and making weather events like hurricanes more extreme.

You can think of El Nino as the planet redistributing its heat.
Warm ocean water develops in the eastern Pacific Ocean, which has a big effect on the atmosphere.
