Gov. Roy Cooper (D) signed an executive order on Monday pledging to slash North Carolina’s greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent below 2005 levels by 2025. North Carolina joins 17 other governors who have signed onto the U.S. Climate Alliance, which commits states to upholding the Paris agreement, tracking and reporting their progress as they work to reduce carbon emissions.
“The state of North Carolina will support the 2015 Paris Agreement goals and honor the state’s commitments to the United States Climate Alliance,” reads Executive Order 80.
Hopefully other Gulf/Atlantic touching states, if not y'know the whole country, would also follow suit.
Climate change is not a partisan issue, and the members of the US Climate Alliance prove that.

These are the stats that are part of the alliance, if the governor elections go really well for Democrats you can expect Nevada, Iowa, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Maine, Florida, Wisconsin, and Michigan to join. New
Hampshire has a moderate GOP governor who may join as well.

Too late
Well that’s very good Halloween treat here for my state.

Even doing a little something is better than just giving up.
if climate change suddenly becomes a winning issue then you might see more sign on, though they may just be doing lip service
>New Mexico isn't one of them
>too busy trying to secure military spending to keep the economy afloat to worry about climate change and water shortages lol
Just wait until tornado alley sees some unprecidented tornado activity due to climate change. They might come around.
More likely just blame shifting and “normal pendulum swing” and that kind o bullshit.

I hope my state signs this after the election, we're surrounded by states that did.
Pennsylvania? Wonder why they didn't already, Wolf is cruising to reelection.
Yep!
