The Environmental Protection Administration released a report on Monday summarizing the nation's environmental state.

Outgoing EPA chief Christine Todd Whitman said the report documents progress on a number of fronts. She said the air is cleaner, drinking water is purer, the land is better-protected and the health of Americans is improving.

But the report omitted substantial discussion of global warming and other problems. The report was edited to reduce the climate change section to two paragraphs, The New York Times reported last week.
