Greenhouse Gases Endanger Public Health: EPA

The finding, a response to the scientific review ordered by the U.S. Supreme Court two years ago, clears the way for the agency to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.
 
"The EPA today officially acknowledged the massive body of scientific research that shows that climate change is harming our health and environment," Eli Hopson, a Washington representative of the Union of Concerned Scientists, said in a statement Friday morning. "Heat waves, the spread of tropical diseases, and worsening air quality are all climate-related threats the EPA can help address."
