All who are committed warm the heart in any case. Atlanta's on this list!

Until I hear otherwise I'm going to assume the entire list is in, despite what this enormous shift in federal policy could end up meaning in practical terms. Medium says it's "almost 70" now.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 31, 2017

News Release

"Mayor Kasim Reed Statement on the President’s Decision to Withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement

ATLANTA – “The President has made a disappointing decision today to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, and by extension, global leadership. This decision isolates our country from international partners in shared, global efforts to curb climate change, and at its core is an assault on our future stability and prosperity.

Two years ago, I joined more than 100 mayors from around the world in Paris to demonstrate our support for the COP 21 negotiations. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry demonstrated genuine leadership as they committed the United States to actionable, meaningful and achievable goals to combat climate change and reduce harmful pollution.

Along with my colleagues from around the country and the world, I remain committed to meeting the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. The City of Atlanta will intensify our efforts to reduce CO2 emissions, work to cool the planet by two degrees, ramp up clean energy solutions and seek every opportunity to assert our leadership on this urgent issue.”

...I want to visit every one of those cities and spend at least one night there. This is from a true globetrotter...

It would be even more cool with a group!
