'The Late Show' Introduces Superheroes Fighting The Science Of Climate Change

Trump's climate committee summons "the power of willful ignorance."

President Donald Trump is appointing a special committee to study whether climate change threatens national security, and the chairman is likely to be a climate change denier, The Washington Post reported this week. 

That does not seem to sit well with people at “The Late Show,” hosted by Stephen Colbert . The program opened Friday night with a cartoon introducing “Trump’s climate committee,” saying the panel summoned “the power of willful ignorance.”

William Happer , who is expected to chair Trump’s committee, was singled out for specific criticism.

He was identified as “an unsightly climate-change denier.”

The clip had him saying: “If climate change is real, how come it snows? I’m gonna go punch a dolphin.”

Check out the video clip above.
