TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie says he's skeptical that humans are responsible for global warming.
[Snip]
Asked by a man attending the event whether he thought mankind was responsible for global warming, Christie says he's seen evidence on both sides of the argument but thinks it hasn't been proven one way or another.

(Christie, that is)
I’m a little skeptical about that too. Go figure.
But, but it is only getting warmer on the side of the planet that the sun is shining on..........
He’s not quite there yet, but far better than a Jersey Rat.
How about this, Mr. Christie: Global Warming is a marxist fraud, cooked up by marxists, and only believed by marxists and poltically correct capons.
Skeptical. AGW has been pretty much debunked.
What percentage of the American people give a rat’s a#%
about globull warming? What percentage of the American people care about their abliltiy to earn a living? Hooray for the big guy.
Keep reading, Gov. Christie, especially things written by folks who don’t have a dog in the hunt, i.e. serious scientists whose work doesn’t depend on grant money from either side.
I hope he has more than a tenuous grasp on that concept. Every time I fear he is going squishy, he comes back with a zinger and restores my faith.
I like him a lot but one of his main problems is he is a massive Springsteen fan. Springsteen music is and lyrics are so lame. Christie also needs to get better on the second, abortion and the border.
I am not skeptical at all. It is a hoax. Always has been, always will be.
“I like him a lot but one of his main problems is he is a massive Springsteen fan.”
I think it’s required by law in NJ...
Do humans cause it? There is no record that humans did in the past, whether by industrial might, smokestack emissions, or just jumping around a lot, but it happened anyway. Similarly, there is no proof humans are causing it now, especially since global temepratures are declining.
Sorry folks, we're just along for the ride, even though the carseat may have a steering wheel.
“Keep reading, Gov. Christie, especially things written by folks who don’t have a dog in the hunt, i.e. serious scientists whose work doesn’t depend on grant money from either side.”
Exactly.
The lessons of history are never learned.
For cryin’ out loud, everyone knows that the glaciers disappeared due to humans burning hydrocarbons in vast quantities to fuel their move from cave-dwellars to neanderthals.
“he is a massive Springsteen fan”
Was that a deliberate pun? lol
ABSTRACT:
"Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere [historically] is the product of oceanic respiration due to the well-known but under-appreciated solubility pump. Carbon dioxide rises out of warm ocean waters where it is added to the atmosphere. There it is mixed with residual and accidental CO2, and circulated, to be absorbed into the sink of the cold ocean waters. Next the thermohaline circulation carries the CO2-rich sea water deep into the ocean. A millennium later it appears at the surface in warm waters, saturated by lower pressure and higher temperature, to be exhausted back into the atmosphere. Throughout the past 420 millennia, comprising four interglacial periods, the Vostok record of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration is imprinted with, and fully characterized by, the physics of the solubility of CO2 in water, along with the lag in the deep ocean circulation.
Notwithstanding that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, atmospheric carbon dioxide has neither caused nor amplified global temperature increases. Increased carbon dioxide has been an effect of global warming, not a cause [historically -etl]. Technically, carbon dioxide is a lagging proxy for ocean temperatures. When global temperature, and along with it, ocean temperature rises, the physics of solubility causes atmospheric CO2 to increase.
If increases in carbon dioxide, or any other greenhouse gas, could have in turn raised global temperatures, the positive feedback would have been catastrophic. While the conditions for such a catastrophe were present in the Vostok record from natural causes, the runaway event did not occur. Carbon dioxide does not accumulate in the atmosphere."
