Six Midwestern governors and the premier of Manitoba will sign an accord in Milwaukee today that will commit those states to working together to slash emissions linked to global warming over the coming decades.

Another three governors are expected to sign on to the accord as observers.

The agreement represents a bipartisan statement that it's time to take action on global warming, rather than wait for the federal government to act, the accord's backers said.
