WASHINGTON — As more and more states band together to fight global warming, their efforts are moving beyond mere symbolism and becoming big enough to make a real dent in the problem, analysts and environmental groups say.
More than half of the nation's 50 states — including populous California, Texas and New York — have joined together in regional coalitions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, boosting the use of renewable energy and improving energy efficiency.

Five states in the West and 10 in the Northeast that have banded together to fight climate change account for 22% of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions. Their efforts have the potential to cut America's global warming emissions significantly, according to data from the Pew Center on Global Climate Change.
