Plattsburgh, NY – The Kyoto accord took effect at Midnight eastern time. Signed in 1997 and ratified by 140 countries - excluding the US.

In 2001 the New England states agreed to cut global warming pollution by aggressively capping carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. But a new report says those efforts are moving too slowly and not as aggressively as promised. WAMC's Pat Bradley reports.
