Myron Ebell slams Trump's EPA chief, advisers for slow progress

President Trump’s former environmental transition head is blaming Environment Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, and a lack of key political appointees, for slow progress in reining in the government’s climate ambitions.

Myron Ebell, who was chosen by the Trump campaign to lead the EPA transition team, told the conservative Jefferson Institute in Virginia a month ago that the lack of progress represents “an impending disaster for the Trump administration,” according to a recording of the closed session obtained by Reuters and reported Monday.
