| Global warming poses a profound threat to America’s future. Science suggests that, to avoid the most dangerous impacts of global warming, America and the world must take immediate action to reduce emissions of global warming pollutants. In the United States, that means halting the growth in global warming emissions now, reducing emissions by at least 15 to 20 percent by 2020, and achieving reductions of at least 80 percent by mid-century. | |

| As global warming causes hot summer days to get hotter, concentrations of an air pollutant called ozone increase, forming lung-damaging pollution commonly known as smog. NRDC analysis—done in partnership with medical experts at Yale University, the Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health in collaboration with University at Albany SUNY and the University of Wisconsin-Madison—assesses how much smog levels could rise over the eastern United States because of global warming, and what that could mean for public health. | |

| Temperatures were above average in cities across Ohio in 2006, according to a new report released today by Environment Ohio. Environment Ohio said this warmer-than-normal weather is indicative of what Pennsylvania can expect with continued global warming, and the group called on Governor Rendell and Pennsylvania’s federal elected officials to take immediate action to cut global warming pollution. | |

| The early effects of global warming are already evident across the United States and worldwide. The past nine years have all been among the 25 warmest for the contiguous United States, a streak unprecedented in the historical record. If emissions are left unchecked, temperatures will continue to rise, and the effects of global warming will become more severe. This report examines trends in U.S. global warming pollution nationally and by state and concludes that the failure to limit emissions nationwide has allowed global warming pollution to grow out of control. | |

| Scientists expect that global warming will cause a variety of changes to precipitation patterns in the United States. Many areas will receive increased amounts of rain and snow over the course of a year; some areas will receive less. But scientists expect that, all across the country, the rainstorms and snowstorms that do occur will be more intense – increasing the risk of flooding and other impacts. | |

| Global warming is the defining challenge of our time. The latest climate science tells us that the United States must reduce its emissions of global warming pollutants quickly and dramatically if we hope to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of global warming. The rest of the world must take strong action as well. | |
