It seems pretty obvious based on Trump's choices for head of EPA, DOE, etc. that even if he is "keeping an open mind" he is appointing people to positions of power that have anything but an open mind in regards to climate change and environmental stewardship.

His recent interview was probably just political posturing so he doesn't get lambasted by the media while he is making these appointments.

I'm hoping these appointments are political posturing, despite how absurd that sounds.

Personnel is policy.

That is a historically true statement, this situation has strayed from historical norms in several ways.

Yes, I think people are in denial still, hoping everything's going to be okay.
