According to NOAA, "human health and safety" and American "quality of life" is "increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change". [8] Like the previous reports in this series, the NCA4 is a "stand-alone report of the state of science relating to climate change and its physical impacts".
The Second National Climate Assessment, entitled "Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States", was published in 2009. [6] In addition to synthesizing, evaluating, and reporting on what was known about the potential consequences of climate change , the report also sought to identify potential measures to adapt to climate change and to ...
Health impacts of climate change are related to heat stress, waterborne diseases, poor air quality, extreme weather events, and diseases transmitted by insects and rodents. Robust public health infrastructure can reduce the potential for negative impacts. Climate change will interact with many social and environmental stresses. Climate change ...

Project 2025 calls for the elimination of some of the nation's most dependable resources for tracking weather, combating climate change and protecting the public from environmental hazards.
In 1997 the World Climate Research Programme convened a meeting to determine the state of the art of climate research around the world. One of the principle conclusions of that meeting was that the global capacity to measure major climate variables such as temperature, rainfall, wind speed and direction, was inadequate to inform efforts to confront the emerging issue of climate change.
