(Christophe Ena/Associated Press)PARIS — More than 18,000 people marched Saturday in Paris as part of an international mobilization to show popular support for urgent measures to combat climate change in advance of a San Francisco summit. California’s governor proposed the event after President Donald Trump vowed to pull the U.S. out of a landmark 2015 climate accord. Thousands of people took to the streets of San Francisco, marching about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from the city’s piers to City Hall.
