Jeb Bush Blasts 'Intellectual Arrogance' in Climate Change Debate

From: http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/jeb-bush-blasts-intellectual-arrogance-climate-change-debate-n362586

"For the people to say the science is decided on this is really arrogant, to be honest with you," he added. "It's this intellectual arrogance that now you can't have a conversation about it, even."

For fuck's sake...I thought Bush was the establishment moderate?

These people are fucking crazy. The DNC needs to bookmark this for the negative advertising blitz against this mental giant if he gets the nom.

OMFG. These people are pathetic. They really deserve to live with their own
ignorance. I just wish it wouldn't spill over into the rest of us so often.

seriously by the base.

Note Bush does not say that there is no climate change or that man does not contribute to it (something some GOP candidates have no problem to say). He has to resort to "we do not know how much is due to man" which he knows is BS, but he has to placate the idiots.

Courage is what is missing to Jeb Bush. With some courage, he still would be an horrible neocon, but he would not have to be a contortionist. I thought courage was what he intended to show during his campaign.

How dare 97% of climate scientists disagree with Jeb's ideology! When this a$$hole said this, I wanted to puke. More than anything this creep has said or done, the arrogance of him accusing scientists of not being open minded about the evidence convinced me that the guy is completely disreputable. Shame on you Jeb! Is there no bar low enough to which you will not stoop to pander to the RWers?
