Bush's last Group of Eight summit only inched forward the fight against climate change but drew the battle lines more sharply than ever between rich and poor nations.

Gerberding told the committee that global warming "is anticipated to have a broad range of impacts on the health of Americans," but she gave few specifics, instead focusing on the CDC's current preparation plans.

The former official, Jason K.

He then stood with her at a news conference at which she excoriated the Bush administration. Articles - Politics News Tue, 08 Jul 2008 23:15:48 +0100
