Trump Says Falsely ‘Nobody Really Knows’ If Climate Change Is Real

"President-elect Donald Trump said Sunday that 'nobody really knows' whether climate change is real and that he is 'studying' whether the United States should withdraw from the global warming agreement struck in Paris a year ago.

In an interview with 'Fox News Sunday' host Chris Wallace, Trump said he’s 'very open-minded' on whether climate change is underway but has serious concerns about how President Obama’s efforts to cut carbon emissions have undercut America’s global competitiveness.

'I’m still open-minded. Nobody really knows,' Trump said. 'Look, I’m somebody that gets it, and nobody really knows. It’s not something that’s so hard and fast. I do know this: Other countries are eating our lunch.'"
