The '''United States Climate Alliance''' is a group of [[U.S. state|states]] in the [[United States]] which are committed to upholding the 2015 [[Paris Agreement]] on climate change within their borders. <br />
<br />
The seven member states make up 25.4 percent of the U.S. population and 29.3 percent of U.S. GDP as of 2016. The seven emitted 13.3 percent of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions in 2014.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.eia.gov/state/rankings/?sid=CA#series/226|title=California – Rankings – U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)|website=www.EIA.gov|language=en|access-date=June 2, 2017}}</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The alliance was formed on June 1, 2017, in response to the announcement earlier that day by [[President of the United States|U.S. President]] [[Donald Trump]] that he had decided to [[United States withdrawal from the Paris Agreement|withdraw]] the United States from the Paris Agreement. The formation of the alliance was thereupon announced by three state [[Governor (United States)|governors]]—[[Jay Inslee]] of [[Washington (state)|Washington]], [[Andrew Cuomo]] of [[New York]], and [[Jerry Brown]] of [[California]]. The association is not a legally binding treaty; rather, it is simply a group of state governments with like-minded policies regarding climate change.<ref name="waPo06012017">{{Cite web|url=http://governor.wa.gov/news-media/inslee-new-york-governor-cuomo-and-california-governor-brown-announce-formation-united|title=Inslee, New York Governor Cuomo, and California Governor Brown announce formation of United States Climate Alliance {{!}} Governor Jay Inslee|website=governor.wa.gov|language=en|access-date=June 2, 2017}}</ref> A press statement released by Inslee states that "New York, California and Washington, representing over one-fifth of U.S. Gross Domestic Product, are committed to achieving the U.S. goal of reducing emissions 26–28 percent from 2005 levels and meeting or exceeding the targets of the federal Clean Power Plan." These three states are governed by the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]], although both [[New York]]'s and [[California]]'s governorship will be on the ballot in the [[United States gubernatorial elections, 2018]]. <br />
<br />
By the evening of June 1 the state governors of seven other U.S. states had agreed to maintain their states' support for the Paris Agreement. Nearly 70 percent of Americans, including a majority of people in all 50 states, support the Paris Agreement on climate change.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Wilts|first1=Alexandra|title=Majority of Americans in every US state supports Paris climate deal Trump is poised to withdraw from|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-paris-climate-deal-agreement-poll-support-popularity-americans-states-a7765626.html|accessdate=3 June 2017|work=The Independent|date=2017-06-01}}</ref><br />

The '''United States Climate Alliance''' is a group of [[U.S. state|states]] in the [[United States]] which are committed to upholding the 2015 [[Paris Agreement]] on climate change within their borders. <br />
<br />
The seven member states make up 25.4 per cent of the U.S. population and 29.3 per cent of U.S. GDP as of 2016. In contrast, these states made up 13.3 per cent of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions in 2014.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.eia.gov/state/rankings/?sid=CA#series/226|title=California – Rankings – U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)|website=www.EIA.gov|language=en|access-date=June 2, 2017}}</ref> <br />

These three states are governed by the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]], although both [[New York]]'s and [[California]]'s governorship will be on the ballot in the [[United States gubernatorial elections, 2018]]. <br />
<br />
By the evening of June 1 the state governors of seven other U.S. states had agreed to maintain their states' support for the Paris Agreement.

The '''United States Climate Alliance''' is a group of [[U.S. state|states]] in the [[United States]] which are committed to upholding the 2015 [[Paris Agreement]] on climate change within their borders. <br />
<br />
The seven member states make up 25.4% of the U.S. population and 29.3% of U.S. GDP as of 2016. In contrast, these states made up 13.3% of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions in 2014.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.eia.gov/state/rankings/?sid=CA#series/226|title=California – Rankings – U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)|website=www.EIA.gov|language=en|access-date=June 2, 2017}}</ref> <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Alliance was formed on June 1, 2017, in response to the announcement that day by [[President of the United States|U.S. President]] [[Donald Trump]] that he had decided to [[United States withdrawal from the Paris Agreement|withdraw]] the United States from the Paris Agreement. The formation of the Alliance was announced later that day by three state [[Governor (United States)|governors]]—[[Jay Inslee]] of [[Washington (state)|Washington]], [[Andrew Cuomo]] of [[New York]], and [[Jerry Brown]] of [[California]]. The association is not a legally binding treaty; rather, it is simply a group of state governments with like-minded policies regarding climate change.<ref name="waPo06012017">{{Cite web|url=http://governor.wa.gov/news-media/inslee-new-york-governor-cuomo-and-california-governor-brown-announce-formation-united|title=Inslee, New York Governor Cuomo, and California Governor Brown announce formation of United States Climate Alliance {{!}} Governor Jay Inslee|website=governor.wa.gov|language=en|access-date=June 2, 2017}}</ref> A press statement released by Inslee states that "New York, California and Washington, representing over one-fifth of U.S. Gross Domestic Product, are committed to achieving the U.S. goal of reducing emissions 26–28 percent from 2005 levels and meeting or exceeding the targets of the federal Clean Power Plan." These three states are governed by the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]], although both [[New York]]'s and [[California]]'s governorship will be on the ballot in the [[United States gubernatorial elections, 2018]]. <br />
<br />

A '''Passenger drone''' is a type of [[Unmanned aerial vehicle]] (UAV) that carries passengers. The first passenger drone was introduced at the Computer Electronics Show (CES) 2016 by Chinese entrepreneurs and is called the [[Ehang UAV|Ehang 184]].<ref>{{cite news|title=First passenger drone makes its debut at CES|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jan/07/first-passenger-drone-makes-world-debut|accessdate=24 February 2016|agency=The Guardian|publisher=The Associated Press}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=World’s first passenger drone unveiled at CES|url=http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ces-passenger-drone-idUSKBN0UM0GW20160108|accessdate= 16 June 2016|agency=Reuters}}</ref><br />

The use of [[Unmanned aerial vehicle|UAVs]], or drones, has been popular in recent years.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Henshon|first1=M|last2=Whittemore|first2=G|title=Drones on the Horizon!
