31 States Target Global Warming

Thirty-0ne states -- representing 70% of the US population -- are doing something Washington won't do about global climate change.

They created the Climate Registry. From the LA Times:

State officials, along with some industrial groups and environmentalists, say the registry is a crucial precursor to both mandatory and market-based regulation of industrial gases that contribute to warming.

The outfit will set up shop in Washington, DC in January. It'll track greenhouse gas emissions. (LAT)
