Several Western U.S. states and Canadian provinces on Wednesday agreed to cut greenhouse emissions 15 percent by 2020 in the latest regional pact to regulate the gases, an approach opposed by U.S. President Bush.
“Our collective commitment will build a successful regional system to be linked with other efforts across the nation and eventually the world,” California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
The Western Climate Initiative, led by Schwarzenegger, seeks to slash greenhouse emissions by 15 percent below 2005 levels by 2020. Mandatory cuts are at odds with the voluntary approach favored by his Schwarzenegger’s fellow Republican Bush.
