EPA Finds that Global Warming Endangers Human Health

In an historic step, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa Jackson today formally determined that global warming pollution "endangers" the nation's human health and well-being.

Today's decision reflects the first step under the federal Clean Air Act to begin establishing national emission standards for large global warming emitters but does not contain such emission limits.

It is anticipated that EPA will finalize the "endangerment" determination while it begins developing national emission standards for new motor vehicles and new coal-fired power plants, the nation's two largest sources of global warming pollution.

    Beijing is a massive city of 20 million people that covers 17,000 square kilometers. You need to state which area in Beijing you wish to stay in.
