Nearly three dozen Fresno State faculty members have joined 2,344 California college professors who signed an open letter to President Donald Trump calling for sustained action on climate change and urging the president to honor the country’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions as set forth in the Paris Climate Accord.

The action is in response to rumors of Trump planning to withdraw the U.S. from the agreement.

The letter urges Trump to honor the commitments set forth in the Paris Climate Accord and warns that “continuing to produce greenhouse gases at current rates will have catastrophic, unstoppable consequences for our environment, our economy and our country.”
