Three Democratic governors said Thursday they won’t let the U.S. back away from a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, despite President Trump decision to withdraw from an international pact.
“This is an insane move by this president,” Gov. Jerry Brown said, blasting the decision as “deviant behavior from the highest office in the land.”
Brown joined Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington state and Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York to form the U.S. Climate Alliance to uphold the Paris climate agreement, a pact involving nearly 200 nations aimed at slowing the warming of the planet.
