The Obama administration will release an updated report on Tuesday showing how climate change touches every part of America as the administration seeks to convince the public on the need for a crackdown on carbon pollution.
Some environmental and public health groups expect the U.S. National Climate Assessment to be a "game changer" in the administration's efforts to address climate change.
The extensive report will update a January 2013 draft, which detailed how consequences of climate change are hitting on several fronts, including health, infrastructure, water supply, agriculture and especially more frequent severe weather.
