So Trumo turned into punished snake?

 

[Trakdown]

He can try, but he's already shown himself to be a paper tiger in that regard. He threatened CA several times to cut federal ties over sanctuary cities, and they just told him to go fuck himself.

Man am I glad I moved to this state.

Although props to fucking somebody from my home state (AZ) stepping up.

Wow. Surprised the Mayor of Knoxville is on there, but not Nashville. She's a Dem as well, and pretty left-leaning from what I understand. Might still get added to the list eventually.

Great to see my city on there! But I would be shocked if it was not considering it's Eugene Oregon. A city that bans any building higher than an average Oregon tree lol. Literally.

Dick Scott is a fuck. But there are some Florida mayors on the list.

 

[psyfi]

Cool, this is better than nothing. Stoked to see Kate Brown getting Oregon on board.

 

[the_sun_king]

Awesome, San Antonio joined the list.

 

[fastford58]

What do you suppose the carbon footprint of NY and LA traffic is?

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Fuck yeah, Greg Stanton FTW! As well as the guy from Tucson.

Jim Lane, stop being a terrible mayor and sign up.

 

[wandering]

I need to contact the mayor of my hometown.

 

[Gallbaro]

Mayor Lioneld Jordan
City of Fayetteville, AR

That is a name I have not heard in a long, long time. Good for him.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

What do you suppose the carbon footprint of NY and LA traffic is?

Not sure when the data for this map was recorded, though.

 

[Beartruck]

Rauner is a pure shitbag, so no chance of Illinois joining til he gets voted out in 2018. Good to see Rahm's on board with it though, as Chicago is most of the state's population anyways (Chicago metro pop is 9.5 million, State's total pop is 12.5).

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

It's a shame Governor Wolf is so hamstrung by the PA state legislature. While I think he should show his support, it could lead to his political downfall, and he's about the only check against conservative power in PA. At this point it's probably better for liberals that he doesn't.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Cool, this is better than nothing. Stoked to see Kate Brown getting Oregon on board.

I mean, this is a lot better than nothing. These are people will real political power.

 

[TestOfTide]

So is Baker the only Republican Governor/Mayor willing to show commitment to the Climate Alliance?

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

I mean, this is a lot better than nothing. These are people will real political power.

Even as a symbolic gesture this is fantastic.

Yeah, 100% with you on this. He faces a tough reelection fight that he frankly needs to win or conservatives will completely own the state government (Well except for our state supreme court which is like 5-1 Democrat lol). Let him win reelection then go as progressive as he can.

 

[True Underdog]

Mike Rawlins of Dallas is usually woke. Concerned I don't see his name on this list.

As someone who used to do environmental/sustainability work for Dallas, me too.

Edit: nevermind.

 

[How About No]

A chill in my spine just jetted me into standing straight up. Is this...patriotism?

Hope the list gets bigger. Glad to see Milwaukee in there

 

[Lord Frieza]

So is Baker the only Republican Governor/Mayor willing to show commitment to the Climate Alliance?

Probably. Official policy of the GOP is climate change denial, I'm pretty sure.

 

[Gallbaro]

What do you suppose the carbon footprint of NY and LA traffic is?

Not sure when the data for this map was recorded, though.

Less than 20% of NYC's emissions comes from transportation. Remember most of us do not own cars and rely on Mr. Cuomo's shitty subway. I remember 80% of NYC's emissions actually comes from supporting buildings. I also remember NYer's are something like 50% more efficient than LA residents, per person.

I also remember coming into LA from Bakersfield and seeing how disgusting LA is from hours out.

 

[TestOfTide]

Probably. Official policy of the GOP is climate change denial, I'm pretty sure.

Well, at least this gives the Nevada Dems ammo for running against Brian Sandoval.

Vegas isn't part of this? Weird, we're part of the Global Covenant of Mayors for climate and energy, the mayor has spoken openly about Climate Change and the city is green now.

Christ, had no idea things were so dire in PA. It's basically becoming a full red state at this pace, sounds like.

 

[Game-Biz]

Not surprised that Bakersfield, CA is NOT on the list. And yet, Fresno is. Stay losing Bako. My poor, poor hometown...

 

[Syncytia]

Man am I glad I moved to this state.

Although props to fucking somebody from my home state (AZ) stepping up.

Don't know if Mark Mitchell on with this but Tempe would probably get cut off the list anyway. Regardless, he did release a statement against leaving the Paris agreement https://mobile.twitter.com/AZMayorMitchell/status/870414837615960065?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

 

[BitStyle]

Glad to see Orlando on the list

 

[PsychBat!]

CTRL+F Milpitas...

Anyone who's lived in the South Bay long enough knows that Milpitas has a huge odor problem coming from a landfill.

Not to mention a giant contaminated salt marsh that surprisingly has life.

 

[Lombax]

Nobody form NH on that list. The fuck?

 

[cdyhybrid]

I wouldn't freak out if someone's not on the list yet. The Paris announcement was only a few hours ago.

I'm sure we'll see the list grow a good bit in the coming days/weeks.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Mayor Reed doing good. Means little in GA, but it still matters

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

80 percent comes from buildings?! Shit, guess that does confirm that green buildings are just as essential as alternative transportation, at least for me.

Since I don't have any studies at hand, is there a consensus about how large the carbon footprint of NYC is?

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Christ, had no idea things were so dire in PA. It's basically becoming a full red state at this pace, sounds like.

PA is a true swing state in many regards, but it's gerrymandered in such a way that it's a massive uphill climb to get a Democrat majority in state Congress. In terms of Senate, governor and presidential elections it's largely about turnout.

 

[Bob Coffee]

But the real question is how many bothans will have to die to get the climate allience the data on the peepee tapes.

 

[madstarr12]

Beautiful. It's the big urban centers that will be paving the way to a more brighter future. Those who support the cause which live in the rural areas, continue the struggle against the Trumpkins out there in rural America.

 

[Syncytia]

80 percent comes from buildings?! Shit, guess that does confirm that green buildings are just as essential as alternative transportation, at least for me.

IIRC that's pretty much standard in any city. Maybe not 80% but it's definitely one of the biggest factors.

Our legislature is a joke, but I think every official elected statewide is a Democrat except Toomey lol.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Our legislature is a joke, but I think every official elected statewide is a Democrat except Toomey lol.

And unfortunately Toomey got to ride the Trump surge. I was more shocked by him winning the state than I was Trump

 

[Lord Frieza]

We are like the weary swordsman who knows what he fights for, but is so wounded and tired, that only instinct keeps up actually going.

 

[The Llama]

I hate that man so much, I wish I had political connections so I could run against him (hell, I'm an Ivy league educated white dude, I'd do great in this state lol).

 

[GoldenEye 007]

As someone who used to do environmental/sustainability work for Dallas, me too.

Edit: nevermind.

I see he's on the list for the Climate Mayors. Just unsure if he's also joining the Climate Alliance.

 

[Gallbaro]

Old housing stock and winter/summer seasons.

The real problem in the USA are the high subsidized suburbs.

 

[kess]

Watch Gorsuch vote against an interstate alliance as being against the commerce clause or something when the lawsuits start coming.

 

[marrec]

Christ, had no idea things were so dire in PA. It's basically becoming a full red state at this pace, sounds like.

We'll have a Dem Gov for awhile, and Pitt/Philly are both strong democratic bases. The rest of the state has been gerrymandered to hell though so the legislature is lost for awhile.

Edit:

Peduto's response to Trump was fire and I'm so glad this dude is running my town.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

IIRC that's pretty much standard in any city. Maybe not 80% but it's definitely one of the biggest factors.

I've been exposed to so much "transportation and sprawl is responsible for all of over climate issues" books/articles/lectures/discussions with peers, I didn't even realize this was true.

EDIT: Well according to the article Gallbaro sent me, it says the following:

Using dozens of variables, researchers found that greenhouse-gas emissions — largely from cars, trucks and other vehicles — in the suburbs account for about 50 percent of all household emissions in the nation, even though less than 50 percent of the population lives in these areas.

 

[ZOONAMI]

Hopefully MN can get in on this but the Republican state house will probably fuck it up.
