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.
She has a pretty impressive science backround according to wiki:
Born in London, England,[2] Amanpour was raised in Tehran. Her father, Mahmoud Amanpour, is a Muslim from Iran; her mother, Patricia Hill, is a Christian from England.[3][4] She is fluent in English and Persian.
After completing the larger part of her elementary education in Iran, she was sent by her parents to boarding school in England when she was 11. She attended Holy Cross Convent, an all-girls school located in Chalfont St. Peter, Buckinghamshire, and then, at age 16, New Hall School, in Chelmsford, Essex. Christiane and her family returned to England not long after the Islamic Revolution began. She has stressed that they were not forced to leave the country, but were actually returning to England due to the Iran–Iraq War. The family ultimately remained in England, finding it difficult to return to Iran.[5]
After leaving New Hall, Amanpour moved to the United States to study journalism at the University of Rhode Island’s Harrington School of Communication and Media. During her time there, she worked in the news department at WBRU-FM in Providence, Rhode Island. She also worked for NBC affiliate WJAR in Providence, Rhode Island, as an electronic graphics designer.[6] In 1983, Amanpour graduated from the university summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa[7] with a B.A. degree in journalism.[
Not.
It is ironic, and perhaps projection, that she claims it is the people questioning the conjecture (it is not even a ‘theory’ yet) of ‘global warming’ that are un-scientific.
-To not provide a provable verification of data and experimentation of global warming is in fact the side that is un-scientific, and to just claim ‘it is decided, discussion over, so shut up’ are the dogmatic close minded people who also claimed the world was flat just because crown and church claimed it.
Even admitting that their is a sun in our solar system that could possibly have manipulative effects on the climate of the earth is anathema.
She will be re-educated.
So then, she is anti climate science.
What a sad lunatic. Chrissy is so full of hate it seeps through every pore.
When you’re dining on Wagyu steak and Chilean Sea Bass you need the appropriate vehicle.
I bet the guy who is importing the steak and seafood is making a bundle. Transportation costs to Mars are a bugger, though. It sure will be great when that Tesla Company guy gets his Star Treck type teletransporter up and running. Then they can just beam it up.
They can’t grow beef and fish on Mars?
Well.....you’ve got me flatfooted there. I just assumed they didn’t. I thought the only thing on Mars was candy bars. I’ll have to dig a little deeper.
