Governor Chris Christie’s comments on climate change came Thursday night at the Cheshire County Lincoln Day Dinner, Save Jerseyans, during a 2-day campaign leadership PAC swing. “I think global warming is real,” he reportedly told the audience. “I don’t think that’s deniable. And I do think human activity contributes to it.”
He’s not being inconsistent.

All that Gov. Pant Load has EVER done involves pandering.
