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."

One of the few things I admire about Democrats is they never question their beliefs. Had Trump lost, AND EVEN WITH HIS VICTORY, they are still wimpering and crying, questioning THEIRS. And the biggest WIMP was just re-elected Speaker!!!!
