(Comment:) A "top story" from Donald Trump's 10/14/18 '60 Minutes' interview with Leslie Lesley Stahl is probably not the following. (Ref. the first video below.) I.e., that Trump has somehow meaningfully "changed his view(s)" about climate change and its effects.

Instead, the "con-man-in-chief" is more likely -- for the moment --saying something ...ummm.. kind of 'in the ballpark' of mainstream thought/consensus about climate change ...to pander to the (expected) views of many within the '60 Minutes' audience. 

Look for real proof of any significant "change" in Trump's views in his regime's actual policies involving climate change (and its effects). Suggestion: "Don't hold your breath" on this one...at least while Republicans are in control.

Video below: Donald Trump essentially describes key characteristics of himself (e.g.: dishonesty) -- but via projection (i.e., on others)). ... And adds-in a couple (more) 'whoppers' along the way...:

The following two video clips from the 60 Minutes interview are among the most disturbing. Frankly...if you can't understand why, there is - unfortunately - not much hope for you either. 
One hint: James Mattis is one of the few thinking, fairly rational, not-completely-sycophantic 'adults' remaining within Trump's cabinet. Woe is us if Mattis "leaves" -- and is replaced with someone lacking such characteristics.
