CDC Official Testifies on Health Risks of Global Warming. By H. Josef Hebert, AP, April 10, 2008. "A top government health official said Wednesday that climate change is expected to have a significant impact on health in the next few decades, with certain regions of the country -- and the elderly and children -- most vulnerable to increased health problems. Howard Frumkin... of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, gave a detailed summary on the likely health impacts of global warming at a congressional hearing. But he refrained from giving an opinion on whether CO2, a leading greenhouse gas, should be regulated as a danger to public health. 'The CDC doesn't have a position on... EPA's regulatory decisions,' said Frumkin, determined to avoid getting embroiled in the contentious issue over whether the EPA should regulate CO2 under the federal Clean Air Act."
