Bush "Doubts" Sea Level Rise, Admits That He'd Move If He Had To; Invokes Garage-Man To Save Us

[hatrack]

EDIT

Bush, once governor of Florida, has said he supports federal government support for “basic research” into low-carbon energy but, like Rubio, places his faith in the free market to deal with rising temperatures and the extreme weather events, drought and sea level rise they bring.

“What we shouldn’t try to do is pick winners and losers through the federal government,” he said at a gathering in New Hampshire on Saturday, in a newly emerged video.

“The market will work faster. There’s someone in a garage somewhere, parochially I hope it’s in Miami, that’s going to have a clue, to have an answer to this. There are people well-intended on climate change but they need to be careful to not paint the apocalypse. Because we are not there. But we should be adapting.”

Bush said he doubted sea level predictions for south Florida but, if they did come true, he has told his wife that they should move house.

1. Jeb! is an embarassment to the country

The government should be trying to make fossil fuels, particularly coal and oil, lose out to renewable. I'm really looking forward to getting my solar panels installed in the next couple of months so I won't be contributing to the problem as much.

2. If Bush honestly doubts the sea level rise, then he has to be illiterate. nt

3. "There is no problem. But Garage Man is going to solve it. Not that it exists."

"Also, we should adapt. To whatever it is, that is not happening. Because it isn't!"
