All the US cities, states, universities, companies, and investors defying Trump on Paris
Cities, towns, businesses, and universities also are clambering to show their support for the Paris agreement. So far, 211 US mayors have added their names to a pledge to locally honor the Paris agreement climate goals regardless of Trump’s decision, and over 1,000 mayors, businesses, and university presidents have signed onto a parallel declaration organized by several environmental groups. By signing, these entities promised to “pursue ambitious climate goals” and “take forceful action” to reduce their emissions. While it still remains to be seen what specific steps the signatories-which include giants like Apple and Facebook and big pension funds like CalPERS-will take to fulfill that promise, the outpouring of support suggests it is rapidly becoming unfashionable not to take a stance supporting the Paris agreement.....Dianne Harrison, president of California State University-Northridge -- True Viral News
