Chris Christie (on CNBC) just made me realize why republicans don't "believe" in climate change. Christie was going on about job growth in New Jersey and of course taking credit for it. A lot of that job growth is repairing the damage of Hurricane Sandy.

For republicans, dealing with the damage due to climate change is a jobs program. Climate change saves them from actually having to come up with a plan.
