Trump has called climate change a hoax, and said he would rip up the 2015 Paris deal, halt any U.S. taxpayer funds for U.N. global warming programs, and revive the U.S. coal sector. "While I can’t stand here and speculate about what policies our President-elect will pursue, I will tell you this: In the time that I have spent in public life, one of the things I’ve learned is that some issues look a little bit different when you’re actually in office compared to when you’re on the campaign trail," Kerry said.   (Reporting by Yeganeh Torbati, editing by Alister Doyle)   SEE ALSO: President-elect Donald Trump doesn't believe in climate change.
