Jeb Bush waffles on climate change

We don't know exactly how many cases of lung cancer are due to cigarette smoking. We don't know what causes autism. We don't know why the voters keep electing dunderheads to high office. There are many things we don't know, but that doesn't mean we should just shrug our shoulders and not try to do something about it.
