Upset by the Bush administration's refusal to participate in the Kyoto protocol and make a commitment to combating global warming, Seattle's mayor has begun enlisting mayors across the country to take action at the local level.

So far, 132 mayors have signed on, the New York Times reported on Sunday.

The list includes the mayors of four Wisconsin cities -- and not necessarily the ones you'd guess. Of course Madison's Mayor Dave is on the list.
