KEENE, New Hampshire – At a country club here in the southern part of this crucial, early voting state, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie broke from some of his potential 2016 Republican presidential rivals, saying he believes in climate change and that humans have something to do with it.

“I think global warming is real. I don’t think that’s deniable. And I do think human activity contributes to it,” said Christie. He added, however, that there needs to be more discussion about the degree to which humans play a role.

If nothing else, our discussion proves “deniers” don’t agree.

Those questions are no less than a religious test for office.

[MrB]

Age of the earth?
Evolution?
Jesus as the only Way of salvation?
Homos “born that way”?

Those questions are no less than a religious test for office.

You make that sound like a bad thing.

Global warming is so 2006. Hey Crispy, it is called climate change now. When that doesn’t work any more it will be global cooling again. When that doesn’t work again they will go full circle back to global warming.

What a fool.

Jimmuh Carter said it first with “the energy crisis is real” c. 1977.

[MrB]

Well, they are a HUMANIST religious test for office.

Even Obama pretended to be a Christian in order to get elected. The Dems always make that claim. My Mother in law wanted to hear it, wanted to believe it and accepted it at face value then voted Dem every time.
