U.S. President Donald Trump is backing off his claim that climate change is a hoax but says he doesn't know if humans are causing global warming, and he suggests that the climate will "change back again." In an interview with CBS's 60 Minutes that aired Sunday night, Trump said he doesn't want to put the United States at a disadvantage in responding to climate change. I'm not denying climate change. He later said he was joking about the Chinese connection, but he has continued to call global warming a hoax. "I'm not denying climate change," he said in the interview.
