President Donald Trump on Sunday backed off from is claim that climate change is a hoax, but said that it's not man-made with permanent impacts and climate will "change back again".
In an interview with CBS News' '60 Minutes', Trump accused scientists of having a "very big political agenda" and asserted that he does not want to put the US, the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gasses, at a disadvantage in responding to climate change.
Asked whether he still thinks climate change is a hoax, Trump said, I think something's happening. Something's changing and it'll change back again. I don't think it's a hoax, I think there's probably a difference. But I don't know that it's manmade."
"I'm not denying climate change. But it could very well go back. You know, we're talkin' about over a millions of years."
