Since the Donald and the TEPA have no interest in preserving our global environment, mayors from over 50 cities from Canada, Mexico and the U.S. signed a formal agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emission in their cities. They met last week at a climate change summit in Chicago and pledged to meet goals simliar to those in the Paris Climate Agreement, from which the Donald withdrew the U.S.
President Obama spoke to the assembly, discussing the rising global temperatures, rising sea levels, worsening storms and droughts as evidence of climate change.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel touted the absence of leadership in Washington, DC and said mayors are taking the reins to fill a leadership void created by The Donald. The Chicago Climate Change commits cities to reducing carbon emission reduction targets by 2025.

Among those cities whose mayors signed:
Los Angeles
Washington, DC
San Francisco
Mexico City
Montreal
Vancouver
Pittsboro, North Carolina
Here is a complete list of cities that are working to reduce greenhouse gases.
