Kerry says 'overwhelming majority' in US back Paris climate deal

"No one has the right to make decisions that affect billions of people based solely on ideology or without proper input."

US Secretary of State John Kerry says an "overwhelming majority" of Americans know that climate change is happening, and want their country to honour its commitments under the Paris climate agreement.

Speaking at a UN climate conference in Marrakech, Mr Kerry praised the Paris deal as a framework that is "built to last".
