[KYLE] Anthony Scaramucci is a Trump advisor and he went on CNN
and made an ass of himself on the issue of climate science.
[CHRIS CUOMO] (undiscernable)...you have. Do you accept the science of man's impact on
the warming of the planet and then you have, uh, what policy considerations do you make
in light of that science? That's one discussion.
My first question though, I'm not completely satisfied on yet.
Which is, I don't get that intellectual exercise to find out who worked on global warming.
Why do you need to know who worked on global warming?
[SCARAMUCCI] You know, I think I- Look, I mean, I know that the current president believes
that the human beings are affecting the climate.
There are scientists that believe that that's not happening.
I think, you know for me personally--[CUOMO] The overwhelming consensus in the-- Chris-- scientific community--
Chris let me finish-- is that man's  actions have an impact on science.
You have to correct that whenever it comes out. Go ahead.
[SCARAMUCCI] Chris, there was an overwhelming science that the Earth was flat.
And there was an overwhelming science--
[CUOMO] It's called ignorance. You learn over time--
[SCARAMUCCI] that we were the centre of the world.
A hundred percent, you know, we get a lot of things wrong in the scientific community.
You and I both know that. I'm not suggesting that we're not affecting the change.
I honestly don't know. I'm not a scientist.
If you're asking me for my opinion it's probably a blend-- [CUOMO] I'm not.
[SCARAMUCCI] of people and what's going on in the Ashford...
You're not asking me for my opinion? Okay. [CUOMO] I'm not. I'm not. I'm--
[KYLE] That's the saddest thing I've ever seen.
So....
he really said..."there was an overwhelming science the earth was flat."
[whispering] No there wasn't.
[whispering even softer] No there wasn't.
[Talking normally] No.....That's called... 'not science' (laughing incredulously)
What the fuck is wrong with this guy?
[while laughing] There wasn't a scientific belief!?
Is he a geocentrism [sic] too?
[IMITATING SCARAMUCCI]"There was an overwhelming scientific belief."
No, that wasn't a scientific belief. That was a belief. (laughs)
That wasn't scientific. That was a belief. There's a difference. There's a difference.
He's basically trying to equate,
well everyone believed x at one time, so therefore we shouldn't believe the scientific community today.
But there's no connection there. There's no logical line you can draw from those two sentences.
Well everybody at one time believed that the Earth was flat so scientists are wrong today.
No, everyone believed the Earth was flat because it is specifically a non-scientific thing to believe.
It took science to come along to tell us the Earth is not flat.
It took science to give us all these...facts about the world and how it functions.
And notice, he was also trying to do this, 'eeeehhh you know' false equivalence
'some people say this some people say that. some scientists say this and some say that.'
Except, wrong, the scientists who say "oh climate change isn't happening."
They're universally funded by the fossil fuel industry, so they have a conflict of interest.
And they're being paid to say that.
All the actual scientists say, "Yeah no, climate change is happening. Look at the data. The data is right in front of us."
It's just so gross to watch...[scoffs] watch people who have the president's ear talk like this,
[stereotypical climate change denier voice] You know some people say climate change is happening.
Others say it's not. Scientists, ya know. Science used to tell us the earth was flat.
Science told us Jesus walked on water. You know what I'm saying?
[normal voice] No I don't know what you're saying.
And nobody who's familiar with the facts and the actual science know what you're saying cause you're a buffoon.
