Six former chiefs of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, who gathered this week to celebrate the agency’s 35th birthday, took some time off to bash the current administration for its myopicย position on climateย change.

โ€œWe need leadership, and I don’t think we’re getting it,โ€ said Russell Train, EPA chief under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, talking about global warming. โ€œTo sit back and just push it away and say we’ll deal with it sometime down the road is dishonest to the people andย self-destructive.โ€

According to reports onlyย  the currentย chief administrator stood up to defend President George W. Bush’s record.
