Anthropogenic Greenhouse Gases and US Climate: Evidence and Impacts

In progress

Topics

This fast-track study will review the latest scientific evidence on whether greenhouse gas emissions are reasonably anticipated to endanger public health and welfare in the U.S. The committee’s report will be completed and publicly released in September.
