Former Republican EPA Administrators Pick Clinton Over Trump in Presidential Race

摘要

Two former Republican Environmental Protection Agency administrators endorsed Hillary Clinton for president Aug. 9, citing Republican nominee Donald Trump's "profound ignorance of science" and the former first lady's commitment to "reasonable, science-based policy" to address climate change. William Ruckelshaus and William Reilly warned in a statement released through the Clinton campaign that a Trump presidency would "set the world back decades" and destroy a Republican legacy of environmental protection that includes creation of the EPA, passage of the Clean Air Act, ratification of the Montreal Protocol to protect the ozone layer and reductions in acid rain, among others.
