About 500 US mayors signed the Kyoto Protocol, a snub to the anti-Kyoto President Bush.
from Seed Magazine:
"Mayors took action because we have to, because the federal government was silent," said Douglas Palmer, head of the United States conference of Mayors.
A total of 514 US mayors attending an environment summit of world city leaders signed the accord to slash pollutants to below 1990 levels by 2012.
The United States Conference of Mayors' Climate Protection Agreement is the only climate protection agreement of its kind among US elected officials. Bush has refused to sign up to the Kyoto Protocol.
