The governors of New York, California and Washington state formed a coalition to fight global warming in response to President Donald Trump’s decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate accord.
The United States Climate Alliance will push to cut greenhouse gases and lead a state-level initiative to support the global agreement that the president has derided as harmful to U.S. interests, governors Andrew Cuomo, Jerry Brown and Jay Inslee, all Democrats, said in a statement Thursday. The three states represent more than 20 percent of U.S. gross domestic product.
