Scott Pruitt Dodges on if Trump Still Thinks Climate Change is a Hoax

‘Does the president believe climate change is real?’

EXCERPT:

PRUITT: "You know what's interesting about all of the discussions we had through the last several weeks had been focused on one singular issue. Is Paris good or not for this country? That's the discussions I've had with the president. So that’s been my focus. The focus remained on whether Paris put us at an disadvantage, and in fact, it did, it put us an economic disadvantage. You may not know this but Paris set target at 26 to 28 percent. With the entire agenda of the previous administration we still fell 40 percent short of those target. It was a failed deal to begin with. And -- and even if all of the targets were met by all nations across the globe it only reduced the temperature by less than 2 tenths of one degrees. So that is something that the president focused upon with respect to how it impacted on us economically and whether there were good environmental objectives that were achieved as a result of Paris, his decision was no. And that was the extent of our discussions."
