"Trump: Climate Change Scientists Have 'Political Agenda'" [1]

"US President Donald Trump has accused climate change scientists of having a 'political agenda' as he cast doubt on whether humans were responsible for the earth's rising temperatures.

But Mr Trump also said he no longer believed climate change was a hoax.

The comments, made during an interview with CBS's 60 Minutes, come less than a week after climate scientists issued a final call to halt rising temperatures.

The world's leading scientists agree that climate change is human-induced."

BBC News had the story October 15, 2018. [2]
