LETTER: No Doubt About Climate Change Say Former Republican EPA Heads

Dear Editor:

A recent Op-Ed piece from my favorite newspaper of Friday, August 2 states:

"There is no longer any credible scientific debate about the basic facts: Our world continues to warm, with the last decade the hottest in modern records, and the deep ocean warming faster than the earth's atmosphere. Sea level is rising. Arctic Sea ice is melting years faster than projected. The costs of inaction are undeniable. The lines of scientific evidence grow only stronger and more numerous. And the window of time remaining to act is growing smaller: Delay could mean that warming becomes "locked in."

Who wrote this?

Four former heads of the Environmental Protection Agency; William D. Ruckelshaus; Lee M. Thomas; William KL. Reilly; and Christine Todd Whitman. All served Republican Presidents, and their Op-Ed piece is named:
