Jake Tapper: Climate Scientists Disagree with Trump for Saying Climate Is Changing

RUSH EXCERPT:
TRUMP: "There is a cooling and a heating. It used to not be climate change. It used to be global warming."
TAPPER (voice-over): "It's always been climate change is that global warming."
EKWURZEL: "As a scientist we tend to use the term climate change because there are all sorts of changes on the planet, including global average temperatures rising over the long term. That latter part is called global warming."
TAPPER (voice-over): "The president has a theory as to why global warming isn't used as much in his view."
TRUMP: "That wasn't work too well. It was getting too cold."
EKWURZEL: "It is not getting too cold. The global average temperatures for the Earth is warming and that's a fact."
TAPPER (voice-over): "Take a look at this heat map from NASA showing rising frms 1884 to 2016. According to researchers, 16 of the 17 warmest years on record have occurred within the last 20 years. And lastly, how about those changing ice caps?"
TRUMP: "The ice caps were going to melt. They would be gone. But now they're setting records."
