Transition team executive committee member Anthony Scaramucci was on CNN discussing the environment, saying that Trump wants the environment to be clean, something people can believe in whether or not they believe in climate change.

Quote:"There was an overwhelming science that the Earth was flat and there was an overwhelming science that we were the center of the world"
