The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its draft 2007 Report on the Environment: Science Report on May 10. The draft version of the report, open for public comment until June 25, attempts to provide a "snapshot" of the current state of the environment and its impact on Americans' health. The 2003 version of the report was roundly criticized for presenting data in an overly biased manner. Most notable in the 2003 controversy was the deletion of a section on climate change, which occurred after politically motivated edits by the Council on Environmental Quality made the section unusable. The draft "Air" and "Ecological Condition" chapters of the 2007 draft both contain the welcome acknowledgment of the scientific reality of rising planetary temperatures and its "likely" human causes. However, the 2007 report falls short of calling this "climate change" and tempers the statement with a quote from the National Research Council: "We cannot rule out that some significant part of these changes is also a reflection of natural variability." Ultimately, the 2007 report makes no conclusive statements about our environment's health. This is primarily due to a lack of both baseline and comparative data. Additionally, the report mostly considered trends over the past twenty years — a time frame suited to determining whether environmental policies have had an impact but not to providing an assessment of the environment.
