Governors from five Western states agreed Monday to work together to reduce greenhouse gases, saying their region has suffered some of the worst of global warming with recent droughts and bad fire seasons.
The governors of Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington state agreed that they would develop a regional target to lower greenhouse gases and create a program aimed at helping businesses reach the still-undecided goals.
It is a sad state of affairs when the President of the United States is too lazy, stupid, or ignorant (or all three) to handle a global crisis like global warming that governors of individual states have to step in to do the President's job.
Regardless, their actions are certainly a step in the right direction, and by taking the lead on this, they will hopefully inspire other leaders in government to do the same.
