http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/06/02/climate/qELM7JPNpKnORMMqkzi2XJ/story.htmlA day after President Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris climate accord, Governor Charlie Baker on Friday joined other states in pledging to bolster efforts to curb greenhouse gases to make up for the lack of federal action.
Baker joined the governors of New York, California, and Washington state to form the United States Climate Alliance, which they said would strive to stick to the nations commitments in the Paris accord.
As the commonwealth reiterates its commitment to exceed the emission reduction targets of the Paris Climate Agreement, today we join the US Climate Alliance to expand on our efforts while partnering with other states to combat climate change, Baker said in a statement on Friday. Our administration looks forward to continued, bipartisan collaboration with other states to protect the environment, grow the economy, and deliver a brighter future to the next generation.

The union appears to be fracturing again, as it did in the mid 19th century.
