To you climate warriors out there...

...claiming the recent warm spell is due to climate change.

If it is, it’s probably fairly insignificant at this point. If it were to play a role, it would be more likely if, somehow, climate change is impacting either the Arctic oscillation or El Nino, and we’re not really aware that it is at this point. If you think about, maybe – the high temperature over the weekend was 70, so maybe without climate change, it would’ve been 69. I think it’s a fairly insignificant role, if any role at all. - Mike Halpert, Deputy Director, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center

So there.
