“Even while over 97 percent of the scientific community and the vast majority of Americans believe that humans are contributing to climate change, a small but well-heeled cohort continues to deny and even try to discredit what objective science tells us unambiguously,” wrote U.S. Rep. Don Beyer, D-Virginia in late March.

“Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals show that 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: Climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities. In addition, most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position,” says NASA’s website.

Going forward into the future the federal government made clear that not only global warming is real but it is making us sick and get worse day by day.

“It’s not just about polar bears and melting ice caps. It’s about our families. It’s about our future,” said Environmental Protection Agency chief Gina McCarthy at the White House when unveiling the report.

All these studies were put together from 1,800 published scientific studies with new federal research, which is later reviewed by National Academies of Sciences.

“The report clearly establishes that climate change is a major threat to public health in the United States,” said Howard Frumkin, dean of the University of Washington’s public health school, who wasn’t part of the report. He said the government isn’t doing enough. “There is a vast disconnect between the magnitude of the problem, as outlined by this report, and the response of government health agencies.”

“Not being able to breathe is one of the most frightening experiences” for people, said Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy “We’re talking about scary moments for parents and children.” Asthma is presently the number one reason for children visiting the hospital for the first or fourteenth time. “Now we’re seeing it worsening because of the heat, the allergens,” and air pollution, said Lynn Goldman, dean of the George Washington University’s public health school.

Most report about this issue is based on the Associated Press interviewing those that are experts in their concerned fields.
