“Less than a week after releasing its response to the April 2007 Supreme Court ruling that the EPA should take action to assess the risk of greenhouse gas emissions and regulate those emissions unless there is a good scientific reason for not doing so, the EPA issued a report entitled Analyses of the Effects of Global Change on Human Health and Welfare and Human Systems. On one hand the EPA asserts using the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gas emissions would be ‘irresponsible’ and too much of an economic burden and on the other it warns of the ’substantial’ threats to human health in the coming decades.” (07/21/08)
