FILE - In this Sept. 13, 2017, file photo, Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski speaks in Salt Lake City. A new Associated Press-NORC poll finds that Americans want local officials to do more to battle global warming now that federal officials aren’t. That rings true with Biskupski, who co-chairs two committees of mayors that are fighting climate change. One of her groups has 115 cities committed to the goal of having their cities operating entirely on renewable energy by the year 2035. Salt Lake City is hoping to beat that goal by a few years. “We’re leading the conversation because we have to now,” Biskupski said. “Here we are with the president coming out against supporting the Paris agreement, now we really ramped things up with the mayors across the country.” (Scott Sommerdorf/The Salt Lake Tribune via AP)
