The Public Employees for Environmental Responsibilitytook a swipe at the EPA for sending bureaucrat Gina McCarthy on an greenhouse gas generating five city tour for Earth Day.
Administrator McCarthy will undertake a greenhouse gas laden week-long tour that will "far exceed" any benefit from her climate change proselytizing.
“Frenetically jetting around the country appears to undercut [the] EPA’s message to ordinary Americans that they should conserve, consume less and reduce transportation pollution,” PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch said in a statement.
McCarthy will be participating in "various events to...focus on responsible steps to cut carbon pollution to slow the effects of climate change" in New York, Boston, Cleveland, Atlanta and Memphis.
Some activities on the tour were called into question.
