Oh My – Jeb Bush Believes in Climate Change?

Republicans are known for criticizing climate and climate change. They call climate change and the science that backs it up a liberal conspiracy. And now this, the Republican savior for the 2016 election, Jeb Bush, is signaling that he too believes in climate change.

Oh the calamity!

Bush (R) acknowledges human activity contributes to climate change but cautioned against actions that would harm the U.S. economy. In written answers to Bloomberg BNA, Bush said the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan is “irresponsible and ineffective” and “oversteps state authority.” He also tells Bloomberg BNA reporter Anthony Adragna that phasing out the renewable fuel standard “over time” is the “proper thing to do.” Bush, who served as Florida governor from 1999 to 2007, also called approving the proposed Keystone XL pipeline a “no brainer.”

Bloomberg BNA:Is climate change occurring? If so, does human activity significantly contribute to it?

Bush: 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.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
