On Thursday's New Day on CNN, during a discussion of President Donald Trump's speech in Poland, CNN international correspondent Christiane Amanpour at one point hinted that those who are "denying climate science" are similar to those who used to think the planets and sun revolve around the Earth as she recalled Trump's decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Accord.
After recounting that Trump had praised former Polish president Lech Walesa and recalled his anti-communist activities from the 1980s, Amanpour noted that Trump had also mentioned the Polish scientist Copernicus and his contributions to astronomy:

On Copernicus -- let's bring up the great scientist Copernicus who both Melania and Donald Trump praised -- he was the one who confirmed hundreds of years ago confirmed that planets revolve around the sun, not the Earth.
She then used Copernicus as a springboard to discredit those who question global warming theory as she added:
Well, today Donald Trump is being criticized in Europe and around the world for basically denying climate science, pulling the United States out of the Paris Accords. There is a huge building there in Warsaw which we're hearing reports has a huge sign on it today saying, "Trump No, Paris Yes," referring to the Paris climate accord.
Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of Amanpour's comments from the Thursday, July 6, New Day on CNN:
8:01 a.m. ET I think he did give a fulsome praise and confirmation of the great post-war liberal democratic order in Europe. But as Ambassador Burns said, he didn't actually -- and he did actually say that he was going to defend it -- but it was short on details. But still, I think it's the most Europe-friendly speech the President has given ever since he became a candidate. So we will wait to see how it goes down in Europe. I think about Russia. He said the sort of pat things that people expect: "We're going to tell him to stop interfering in Ukraine and other places. We're going to tell him to stop supporting hostile regimes," he said, like Syria, also Iran.
But, you know, he did praise Lech Walesa. And this is really important because, you know, nearly a decade before the Berlin Wall came down, Lech Walesa -- a shipyard electrician in Poland -- started Solidarity, and, with John Paul II, started the collapse of the Soviet empire. That is Lech Walesa's contribution to history. And Lech Walesa could probably -- if he was to meet with President Trump which would be a great thing -- tell him a few things about how to deal with the Soviet mindset because that is what Putin has -- the Soviet mindset. And I think that would be really, really important.
On Copernicus -- let's bring up the great scientist Copernicus who both Melania and Donald Trump praised -- he was the one who confirmed hundreds of years ago confirmed that planets revolve around the sun, not the Earth. Well, today Donald Trump is being criticized in Europe and around the world for basically denying climate science, pulling the United States out of the Paris Accords. There is a huge building there in Warsaw which we're hearing reports has a huge sign on it today saying, "Trump No, Paris Yes," referring to the Paris climate accord.
Copernicus was a geocentrism denier. He rejected the “settled science” of the time. The Amanpours of his day would have called him “anti-science”.
Amanpour is overdue for her retirement party.
If Diane Sawyer can call it a day, so can Christine.
She’s had that same Prince Valiant haircut for decades.
I guess it’s a part of her brand.
One of the best arguments against manmade gorebull warming is the fact that other planets like mars that also circle round the sun are also heating up.....
But she believes in an anthrocentric climate model like the 1500s catholic church...
How many Cadillac Escalades and Lincoln Navigators were sold on Mars last year?
“Climate science” denier.
And the leftists deny gender science. You are born a gender you stay that gender. If you want to be the other gender then play dress up or whatever.
Climate is supposed to change.
What were these morons doing before Al Gore came along?
“CNN’s Amanpour Likens ‘Denying Climate Science’ to Denying Planets Orbit Sun”
Well, she’s at least admitting that there is a sun. Getting her to admit that it’s hot and may have something to do with the climate will obviously take a little longer.
That makes sense if you think about it.
Not denying climate science... denying climate pseudo-science, as well as the conclusions and proposed mitigations of the Marxists/globalists.
Her misguided faith in Michael Mann is touching, if foolish. I wonder if her ilk will ever admit that the whole hockey stick that they have been pushing is a hoax.
CNN Amanpour’s devotion to fake news extends to pseudoscience.
Give it up. Your Climate Science Guru, Michael Hockey Stick Mann, just failed to produce his climate data in a Canadian Court. We know the entire Global Warming meme was built on fraud. The participants in the Climate Gate emails admit that themselves. It is over. Done. The earth has been cooling for 3,000 years. The inter glacial is ending. We need to warm the planet.

FAKE journalist, FAKE science, FAKE news.
Gee, I didn’t know that Mrs. Hamas still had a job with CNN. What happened? ISIS didn’t need a new propagandist?
These climate change whack jobs are like wack-a-moles. As fast as you knock them down, they pop up again.
Yet Ms. Amanpour is happy to be a denialist when it comes to Islam’s role in terrorism.
