Is Christie serious, or is it polltical gamesmanship?


 

P

ossible U.S. presidential candidate, Chris Christie, “thinks” climate change is real.
 

However, he is unsure as to what degree humans are responsible.
Chris Christie - is he serious or
is it political gamesmanship?
 

Although there has been some celebration about this apparent change of heart, his caveat about being unsure about humans being responsible, plunges him right back among the deniers.
 

A ClimateProject story - “Chris Christie Makes Big Admission On Climate Change” – illustrates the confusion in Christie’s thinking.
 

It says: “New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie admitted that he thinks climate change is real and that humans contribute to it at an event in New Hampshire last week.
 

“But Christie, a likely 2016 Republican presidential candidate, also added that he thinks the degree to which humans contribute is questionable, according to MSNBC.
 

“I think global warming is real. I don’t think that’s deniable,” he said. “And I do think human activity contributes to it.”
 

He says climate change is real, lays the blame at the feet of humans and then qualifies that observation.
 

It appears he is playing political games with the facts.
