Most fossil fuel generators burn either coal or gas. When the price of gas rises, it mak The Deniers?

Posted on April 09, 2008 in Climate changes
A top government health official said Wednesday that climate change is expected to have a significant impact on health in the next few decades, the Associated Press is reporting today. "CDC considers climate change a serious public health concern," said Howard Frumkin, a senior official of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who was giving a detailed summary on the likely health impacts of global warming at a congressional hearing.
