Climate Change Is A Hoax, Just Like Flat Earth Theory, Donald Trump’s Adviser Says

Donald Trump's adviser and Executive Committee member Anthony Scaramucci was on CNN program New Day when he compared climate change to the Flat Earth theory. The comment shows the ignorance and lack of intellectual thinking in the incoming Trump administration.
Chris Cuomo, the host of the New Day show, asked Scaramucci why Trump's transition team has asked the Department of Energy for the names of individuals working in the Department of Climate Change. Anthony Scaramucci tried to dodge the question by saying that 97 percent of the scientists have no idea what exactly climate change is and they have got it all wrong. He further said that, "There was an overwhelming science that the Earth was flat, and there was an overwhelming science that we were the center of the world."
Anthony Scaramucci went on and commented that, "We get a lot of things wrong in the scientific community. I know that the current president believes that human beings are affecting the climate," but "There are scientists that believe that that's not happening," he said.
The comment given by Anthony Scaramucci was a bad analogy, and equating a scientific reality like the climate change to the long disapproved Flat Earth theory is like comparing fact to fiction. Climate change science is nowhere similar to the idea that the world is flat. But comparing them is similar to the indiscretion that made the 16th century clerics to punish Galileo when he said that the Earth is round, according to Inverse.
According to an article published on IFL Science, on Anthony Scaramucci's unduly remarks on climate change, the fact that science can now cure diseases, can make people fly through the air, can talk to people thousands of miles away and can send spacecrafts to other planets demonstrates that science is doing a pretty good job at getting things right.
The comments made by Donald Trump in which he claimed that vaccines cause autism, solar power drains energy from the Sun and that wind is "very deceiving" and the fact that his executives have also started doing the same raise an alarm on what is the future of American science and research going to be under the Trump administration.
