Jeb Bush says human activity contributes to climate change, calls for GOP to 'embrace science'

GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush says that he believes human activity is contributing to climate change, and that the U.S. is obligated to do something about it.

“The climate is changing; I don’t think anybody can argue it’s not. Human activity has contributed to it. I think we have a responsibility to adapt to what the possibilities are without destroying our economy, without hollowing out our industrial core,” Bush said in an interview with Bloomberg BNA published Thursday.

Consensus of Luddite liberals that man must be stopped from using technology is not science.

....I wonder if he spent all of his millions, if he could buy some common sense. Or maybe the knowledge of REAL science.....

Maybe the RNC could buy him a clue.

Low turnout on both sides during the general with everyone boycotting Bush v Clinton will make it possible.

Jeb Bush was the highest authority within the state of Florida. He is the commander of the state's National Guard. Not knowing Florida law, I cannot say whether he has authority over the state police.

The Catholic Church, of which Jeb Bush is a member, recognizes that natural law supersedes civil law. He had the ability to stop Terri Schiavo's death by slow starvation and dehydration. Thomas More, chancellor for Henry VIII, refused to obey his monarch, as he was the king's good servant, but God's first. He was beheaded and later canonized by the Catholic Church. The prophet Daniel defied his king, was thrown into a lions' den, but was spared death by divine intervention. Bush had the ability and responsibility to act even while his legislature dithered and a petty judicial tyrant commanded Ms. Schiavo's slow death. He failed to do so.

Even if Jeb Bush was impeccably conservative on domestic, economic, and foreign matters, his inaction warrants opposition to his Presidential candidacy.

Who is this guy? He’s the worst in his family, and I wouldn’t have thought that was possible.

He's going to get destroyed in the debates.

Is there one thing, just one issue this guy is floating that GOP voters are going to give him votes for?

Sometimes I think he wants to lose early so he can become a consultant......

Jeb takes a rather condescending view of us ignorant Luddites. This statement alone should rule him out as a GOP candidate.

Good God moron. Are you aware that global warmers won't even debate the science of this in public?

From the article:

The former Florida governor ended the interview by calling on the Republican party to “embrace science.”

“We’re the party that should be the party of discovery, the party of science, the party of innovation and tear down the barriers so that those things can accelerate in our lives to find solutions for all these things,” said Bush.

Bush should direct his ire towards the Dems who deny science when it comes to the development ofa human being in the womb. The ghoulish Nazis at PP are harvesting body parts from viable babies for a profit no less.

Jeb is an arrogant a$$hole who should be ashamed to run for the Presidency. Three Bush family members in the WH in 24 years? Insane.

I remember on 9/11 thanking God that W was our president. I have always been grateful for that, and I always will.
