Jeb Bush's attitude to climate change is to do nothing. That it will sort itself out. Even if not a complete tool, absolutely unfit for President at this crucial moment in history.
That's not accurate. He accepts human caused climate change, and supports different ways of addressing it. He does not support every way to address it, but his position is not "do nothing."

Looking at his most recent statements his solutions aren't good enough. I wouldn't vote for him if I was American.

No, the problem you have is that I'm not clueless. Your problem is that I have plenty of clues about the scientific fraud being perpetrated on the world by the IPCC and its felony fraudulent pet "scientists" who have been meddling with the data to make it support their false claims.

So, you resort to insults, just as you always do.

For those of us not retarded by the need to belong, the Dunning-Kruger effect or confirmation bias.
What about the satellite data?

Contrarians have responded to the news of record-shattering 2015 temperatures by noting that in the satellite data, it was only the third-hottest year on record in the lower atmosphere. There are two main reasons for this. First, atmospheric temperatures are more sensitive to changes in El Niño than surface temperatures. As a result, satellites still have 1998 as the hottest year on record, 0.14°C hotter than the second-hottest year of 2010, even though surface temperatures were about 0.07°C hotter in 2010 than 1998, and more than 0.2°C hotter in 2015.

Second, there’s an even bigger lag between changes in El Niño and changes in atmospheric temperatures, where it’s about 6–7 months. Thus the peak temperature influence of the current monster El Niño won’t be reflected in the satellite temperature record until summer 2016. As a result, 2016 is likely to become the hottest year in the satellite record.

However, the surface temperature data are more relevant to humans because they reflect temperatures where we live, and are less uncertain and more reliable than indirect satellite temperature estimates.

http://mashable.com/2016/01/20/2015-hot ... oHWGs8skqw
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/ ... e-the-best
Ted Cruz fact check: which temperature data are the best?

Ted Cruz’s claim that satellite data are “the best” is unjustified and false.
Satellites don’t measure the Earth’s temperature. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and his fellow climate contrarians love the satellite data, but as Carl Mears of the Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) satellite dataset and Ben Santer recently wrote,

"they are not thermometers in space. The satellite [temperature] data ... were obtained from so-called Microwave Sounding Units (MSUs), which measure the microwave emissions of oxygen molecules from broad atmospheric layers. Converting this information to estimates of temperature trends has substantial uncertainties."
To reiterate; voting for leaders at this crucial time who have no major plans to deal with climate change is immoral and risky. And the Republican candidates, All of them, are morally bankrupt.
