Seattle leading the way in climate change

I noted earlier that Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels has been leading the way trying to get individual municipalities to meet or exceed the Kyoto protocols. I just found the exact text of the agreement: Seattle Mayor Nickels - US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. Very interesting that it is framed in an economic development language. Basically, hey guys this is good for our long-term economic survival. That is great. Now 141 countries have ratified Kyoto and at least 10 cities (more signing on as we speak apparently). This is great local support for something the feds have been failing at.
