White House Emphasizes Health Effects In Push for Action to Curb Greenhouse Gases

摘要

The White House is emphasizing the link between a changing climate and public health as part of an effort to boost support for its efforts to curtail greenhouse gas emissions. President Barack Obama participated in a roundtable discussion April 7 at Howard University School of Medicine and the administration released a report detailing the impact rising temperatures will have on public health as the administration attempts to link its efforts to regulate greenhouse gases to tangible health impacts. "No challenge poses a greater threat to future gens like climate change, but this is not just a future threat. This is a present threat," Brian Deese, senior adviser to the White House, told reporters April 7.
