WASHINGTON (AP) - General Motors Corp., and nearly a dozen other major companies, have joined the growing number of businesses calling for limits on greenhouse gases to combat global warming.
General Motors on Tuesday became the first automobile manufacturer to join the U.S. Climate Action Partnership, a coalition of corporate executives that wants Congress to enact an economy-wide mandatory cap on carbon dioxide emissions.
The group announced the addition of 14 new members including General Motors, PepsiCo, Royal Dutch Shell's U.S. subsidiary and two environmental organizations. Shell, which became the third oil company to join the group, had made its decision known last week.
