EPA integrity board clears Pruitt in Sierra Club complaint

摘要

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt has been cleared in a complaint made by the Sierra Club over his March comments on climate change. Pruitt said in an interview with CNBC on March 9 that he did not “agree that [carbon dioxide is] a primary contributor to the global warming that we see.” In a complaint to the EPA’s Scientific Integrity Officer, the Sierra Club alleged that Pruitt’s remarks violated the agency’s Scientific Integrity Policy.
