On Saturday's edition of 'New Day' on CNN, Princeton University physics professor Dr. William Happer, who argues that concerns about climare change are "trivial," debates 'Science Guy' and Planetary Society CEO Bill Nye. Happer talks about his meeting with President Trump attempted to explain to the CNN audience that climate change is a "myth" and that increased CO-2 would result in the the world actually getting "greener."



"There’s this myth that’s developed around carbon dioxide that it’s a pollutant, but you and I both exhale carbon dioxide with every breath. Each of us emits about two pounds of carbon dioxide a day, so are we polluting the planet? ... Carbon dioxide is a perfectly natural gas, it’s just like water vapor, it’s something that plants love. They grow better with more carbon dioxide, and you can see the greening of the earth already from the additional carbon dioxide in the atmosphere," he said, forcing Bill Nye to respond.



"What he claims to not understand is the rate. It’s the speed at which we’re adding carbon dioxide," Nye explained. "And I will say, much as I love the CNN, you’re doing a disservice by having one climate change skeptic and not 97 or 98 scientists or engineers concerned about climate change."



Later, Happer compared the 2016 Paris Climate Agreement to the appeasement of Hitler, ssaying: "It is an appropriate comparison because it was a treaty that was not going to do any good... This treaty also will not do any good. Anyone who looks at the results of doing what the treaty says can see that the effect on the earth’s climate is — even if you take the alarmist computer models, trivial. It will not make any difference and yet it will cause enormous harm to many people."
