"Nevada Joins League Of States Fighting Climate Change"

"CARSON CITY — Gov. Steve Sisolak has signed Nevada onto the U.S. Climate Alliance, joining 22 other states in a commitment to reduce greenhouse emissions and the effects of climate change.

The alliance was formed in 2017 after President Donald Trump announced plans to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement, an international coalition of nearly 200 countries whose goal is to reduce the progress of climate change.

“In joining with other states, Nevada is making it clear we will act, together, to combat global warming, even when Washington, D.C. fails to do so,” Sisolak said in a press conference in Carson City Tuesday morning."
