Outgoing climate czar John Kerry has created a storm over his crass statement about Russia.

Listen to the video on Fox News…

It’s not clear from the video from a foreign press briefing earlier this week if Kerry elaborated or if the journalists in the room pressed him for more.

The Herald is asking those questions in an email to the Climate Office. No response has been received yet.
