Republican presidential candidate and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Tuesday that he’s “not sure” if he would attend a global climate change summit if he were the nation’s commander in chief, CNN reported.
President Barack Obama is in France this week to participate in a summit on climate change with other world leaders and to finalize an agreement on a pathway to address the changing environment.
Bush told reporters during a campaign stop in Iowa that consequences from environmental regulations might have kept him from attending the conference if he were President.
“I’m not sure I would have gone to the climate summit if I was President today,” Bush said, as quoted by CNN. “I worry about the economic impact for our country. I worry that, put aside intentions, that this, these proposals could have an impact on the here and now, on people that are really struggling right now.”
“So I’d be uncertain whether I’d attend a meeting like that, where it seems like the movement is towards policies that would hurt our economy,” he added.
Another tough decision you won’t have to make, loser.
Jebbie knows all about struggling, don’t you?
No one cares anymore what comes out of your flappy jaws. You and your whole family are an embarrassment to this nation.
Reading articles about men that will never be president opining about events they will never be invited to.
Based on this comment and governor Christie’s earlier comment I’m beginning to think that the GOP defines American Exceptionalism as a daily ride on the stupid bus.
I’d love it if someone would do an article on the economic effects of climate change. There will be some things that benefit the economy, and some that don’t, and though there are some articles out there I have yet to come across one that really lays it out. Missing something straightforward that shows the good and bad, and how much it would really cost, means that someone like Bush can spout nonsense like this and not be called on it. It won’t stop the nonsense (nothing seems able to do that with the Republicans right now), but the average person would at least understand the reality of climate change effects.
