US EPA has announced final endangerment findings on GHGs concluding that these threaten public health and welfare of American people. Findings cover CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6 - subject of scrutiny & analysis for decades by scientists.

This report finds that the current and projected concentrations of the six key well-mixed greenhouse gases--carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)--in the atmosphere threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations.
