22 January 2006 - 1:00pm

Former chiefs of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) -- five Republicans and one Democrat -- criticise the Bush administration's response to global warming.

"The U.S. is failing to take the lead in confronting global warming, a 'dishonest' and 'self-destructive' approach that only worsens the problem, say former federal environmental chiefs...They were among six former EPA heads - six Republicans and one Democrat - who accused the Bush administrations of neglecting global warming and other environmental problems."
