GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - More than a dozen cities across North Carolina have joined an anti-global warming campaign led by the nation's mayors.

By signing the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, the communities pledged to work toward cutting emissions of greenhouse gases to pre-1990 levels. Many scientists believe the gases hasten potentially harmful climate changes.

Governments in Asheville, Durham, Wilmington and Winston-Salem are among the larger cities that have signed the initiative. Other communities include Boone, Brevard, Canton, Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Clyde, Flat Rock, Gastonia, Highlands, Hillsborough, Salisbury and Woodfin.

City officials in Greensboro are scheduled to discuss the issue May 8. Almost 450 cities have signed on nationally.
