Haley: Trump 'believes the climate is changing'

President Trump believes climate change is real and human activity contributes to it, U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley told CBS on Saturday.

Haley's statement follows two days of evading questions by the White House on Trump's beliefs on global warming, which in the past he has referred to as a "hoax."

Haley told CBS' Face The Nation repeatedly in an interview scheduled for broadcast Sunday that Trump acknowledges the climate is changing. On Thursday, he announced that he was withdrawing the United States from the 2015 Paris climate agreement that seeks to limit global warming through cuts in carbon emissions.

"The president believes the climate is changing," Haley said. "And he does know that pollutants are a part of that equation."

Well he did want to "Renegotiate" the Paris agreement which he called unfair.

I'm not exactly sure how one renegotiates a better falsehood.

O course the climate is changing just like it has since the Earth was created. We have had five major ice ages, the first 2.5 billion years ago, the last one about 17,000 years ago. In between there have been several minor ice ages. All of these have had periods of global warming. It is normal and cyclic, and there is darn little if anything that human being can do to alter it short of all out Nuclear war.

Not according to Trump, at least according to Haley.
