Abstract
The U.S. Global Change Research Program’s June 2009 report to the president and Congress clearly establishes the nature of the global warming problem:
Global warming is real and demands our immediate response. It is in our national interest to act now and mayors understand that a successful plan in this country for reducing our energy consumption begins in cities and local communities. We are leading by example in the fight against global warming and representing America to the world.1
Gregg Nickels, U.S. Conference of Mayors president and Seattle mayor
