Story highlights "We get a lot of things wrong in the scientific community," he said

"I'm not suggesting that we're not affecting the change," he said

(CNN) Anthony Scaramucci, a member of Donald Trump's Presidential Transition Team Executive Committee, said the scientific community gets a lot of things wrong during a conversation about climate change.

"I know that the current president believes that human beings are affecting the climate," he told CNN's Chris Cuomo Wednesday on "New Day." "There are scientists that believe that that's not happening."

Scaramucci pointed out, "I am not a scientist."
