The Environmental Protection Agency declared today that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are harmful to people and the environment. The administration will not ignore science or the law any longer, nor will we avoid the responsibility we owe to our children and our grandchildren, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said.
With increasing levels of greenhouse gases being added daily, the greenhouse effect is now enhanced to the point where too much heat is being kept in the Earth's atmosphere. The heat trapped by carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases has increased surface temperatures by 0.75Â°C (1.4Â°F) over the last 100 years. Global warming is harming the environment in several ways including: 1  Desertification.  Increased melting of snow and ice.
