Ex-EPA Chiefs Blame Bush in Global Warming


By JOHN HEILPRIN, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Six former heads of the Environmental Protection Agency — five Republicans and one Democrat — accused the Bush administration Wednesday of neglecting global warming and other environmental problems.

"I don't think there's a commitment in this administration," said Bill Ruckelshaus, who was EPA's first administrator when the agency opened its doors in 1970 under President Nixon and headed it again under President Reagan in the 1980s.

"We need leadership, and I don't think we're getting it," he said at an EPA-sponsored symposium centered around the agency's 35th anniversary. "To sit back and just push it away and say we'll deal with it sometime down the road is dishonest to the people and self-destructive."

It assumes the clock has stopped. What if the clock is slow, or one of the hands is missing (you can't tell where the other hand should be) or both? It's still broken and it's never right.

I wish Bush would stop.
