As President Trump accepted Sean Spicer's resignation as White House press secretary and the acting communications director, he handed over the role to Anthony Scaramucci, previously best known as a businessman.

With Trump's understaffed office, people are not sure how much Scaramucci would be involved in decision-making on climate and sustainability. Here's a quick rundown of some of the remarks he's made about some scientific facts... some may want to brace themselves.

In an interview with CNN in December last year about climate change, Scaramucci tried to make a point about how scientists can get things wrong sometimes.

"There was overwhelming science that the earth was flat and there was an overwhelming science that we were the center of the world," Scaramucci said. "We get a lot of things wrong in the scientific community."

Touché, Scaramucci, the science community has made mistakes here and there in the past, but the age of the planet is a cold hard fact set in stone, literally.

Over decades of observation, scientists have contributed vast amounts of data, proving that the earth is 5.4 billion years old.

Whether it was a slip of the tongue or he truly believes it, his words made plenty of jaws drop.

"You're saying the scientific community knows, and I'm saying people have gotten things wrong throughout the 5,500-year history of our planet," said Scaramucci in the same interview with CNN.

It is his right to doubt scientific findings, Forbes reported recently, but it is "dangerous" when elected officials "frame their decisions around a disbelief of science."

Unlike his new boss, who kept calling climate change a "hoax" during his campaign trail, Scaramucci believes that the climate is changing.

"You can take steps to combat climate change without crippling the economy. The fact many people still believe CC is a hoax is disheartening," he tweeted in March 2016, weeks after the GOP primaries started.

"The science of climate change is pretty much irrefutable at this point, and I find it tragic that so many people in this country believe global warming is some sort of elaborate hoax perpetuated by every credible scientist on the planet,” Scaramucci said in an interview with FinAlternatives in June last year. “In addition to the whole humanity angle, investing in sustainable energy makes sense from an American national security perspective.”

According to NASA, at least 97 percent of actively publishing climate scientists agree that "climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities."

Scaramucci is not a scientist and he is not trying to influence others' opinion as if he knows any better.

"I'm not suggesting that we're not affecting the change. I honestly don't know," Scaramucci told CNN during a heated debate on the cause of climate change.

"I'm not a scientist," he added.
