(CNN) President Donald Trump, speaking during a hurricane recovery briefing in Georgia, said he believes "there is something there" when asked about climate change, but once again cast doubt on the overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is caused by human activity.

"There's something there, there's no question," Trump said. "Man-made or not, I mean there's something there. It's going back and forth."

The remarks, which came after he spent time in Florida touring the devastation wrought by Hurricane Michael, echoed comments he made in an interview on CBS' "60 Minutes" that aired Sunday night in which he acknowledged "something's changing."

But the President's insistence that climate change is cyclical -- and not caused by man-made greenhouse gases -- is at odds with the broad consensus among scientists that the climate change the world is facing is caused by human activity and leading to an irreversible rise in global temperatures.

Last week, the United Nations' scientific panel studying climate change issued a stark warning about the impact rising global temperatures will have on the planet if carbon emissions continue apace, including food shortages, worsening wildfires and coral reefs dying off en masse by 2040.
