Chris Christie Makes Big Admission On Climate Change

http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2015/05/10/3657144/christie-climate-change-is-real/

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.”

Christie also said that the U.S. or a single group of states “can’t be acting unilaterally…when folks in China are doing things to the environment that we would never be done in our country.”

If he wasn't toast before, he's toast now. Stopped clock, good on ya Gov.

How can we convince China to do something when we continue to do nothing?
