Secretary of State John Kerry wouldn't guess where the next administration would go with environmental measures, but said the American public would continue to demand action to combat climate change.
At a Sunday press conference with New Zealand Prime Minister John Key, Kerry said he didn't want to "speculate on what President- elect Trump's presidency is going to mean with respect" to the Paris climate agreement.
Trump said on the campaign trail that he wants U.S. participation in the agreement scrapped.
"I think that everybody knows that there are sometimes -- there is sometimes a divide between a campaign and the governing, and I think the administration, the next administration, needs to define itself on that subject," Kerry said.

Kerry added that "most kids in high school or even middle school are pretty good at getting a sense that something is happening if that's what's going on decade after decade."
"And when the scientists overwhelmingly in the world reinforce that's what's happening, and we see the evidence of it every single day -- last year in the United States we spent $8 billion cleaning up after storms that were far more intense than any we've had before," he said. "So I believe the evidence is clear, and the question now that we, this administration, are going to continue to address is how we will implement the Paris Agreement."
The secretary of State stressed that "until January 20th when this administration is over, we intend to do everything possible to meet our responsibility to future generations to be able to address this threat to life itself on the planet."

Yeah, the results at the recent election, people all across America rejected this false notion. Better try next time.
“Im guessing Trumps pick to head the EPA will have a lot of heads exploding.”
My sincere hope is that Trump will abolish the EPA.
“Nuke them from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.”
Americans want jobs. They don’t want to drive tiny electric toys
Those boats probably get about three gallons per mile. Carbon for me, but not for thee.
Guess again
What a delusional twit Lurch is!
Because if there’s ever been a guy with a ironclad grasp on the zeitgeist of the American temperment, it would be the gigilo, windsurfing French-looking patrician with the shitfaced drunken foreign heiress wife.
Kerry (who served in Vietnam Nam) is certainly free to spend his own money in anyway he wishes, as are any others who are as foolish as he is. He could start by using carbon friendly mass transit.
I say we start razing John Kerry is a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan.
What a stupid gigolo!
Speak for yourself, John!
Looking forward to Lurch reduced to fetching gin soaked grapes all day, every day.
NO WE’RE NOT.
No, ‘American People are Committed to having libs committed.
Speak for yourself you worthless piece of sh!t.
If it were all so cut and dry, and settled science, Obama could have taken a Treaty to the Senate.
Uh...No John...The “American people” want no such thing.
The American people want science based upon observable truth.
The AGW nonsense is the product of the Population Control, anti-capitalist, third-world eugenics crowd.
Something between 1 and 3 gallons per mile may be more accurate.
Neither do Kerry or Obola! All either of them really care about is destroying American Sovereignty, while giving away money we don't actually have.
