GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - More than a dozen cities across North Carolina have joined an anti-global warming campaign led by the nation's mayors.
By signing the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, the communities pledged to work toward cutting emissions of greenhouse gases to pre-1990 levels. Many scientists believe the gases hasten potentially harmful climate changes.
Governments in Asheville, Durham, Wilmington and Winston-Salem are among the larger cities that have signed the initiative. Other communities include Boone, Brevard, Canton, Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Clyde, Flat Rock, Gastonia, Highlands, Hillsborough, Salisbury and Woodfin.
