The article discusses the politics of climate control and the initiatives of the State of California to respond to the plea of Al Gore for the world community to take decisive action to reduce emissions. California sued the feds and demanded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to permit the state to limit auto emissions. 700 mayors also signed an agreement that obligates cities to achieve 7% reduction by 2012. Despite the actions, many acknowledges that the efforts are insufficient to avoid significant consequences from global warming.
