Gov. Christie on Climate

Driving home from DC late last night with my satellite radio tuned to Mark Levin’s show, I heard a caller add to Mark’s inquiries about Gov. Chris Christie’s positions on key national issues, noting Christie’s power grab of moving the revenues from a cap-and-trade scheme (colloquially known as RGGI, or “Reggie”) on-budget. To which Mark kindly replied I had already made the point. As AmSpec readers recall from this.

Today we read that someone has asked the good Governor about the issue, and he said the science is still out.

Which, in a rational world, means he will kill the tax which — even if you accept every assumption and climate model of the alamrists — is climatically meaningless. According to everyone. Like Kyoto. Green Jobs central planning. The whole shebang. There is a … wait for it.. ‘consensus’ on that.

Leaders lead. Let’s watch and see.

Heh, well I hope he finds out soon what the rest of us already know.

There ain't no Santa Claus.

Margie How could you!

Hey, Margie, I played Santa once for a MR residential facility. Didn't bother me as a Jewish kid, but the B*&stards; didn't give me a "fat suit!" That burned!

I don't recall Christie being elected to deal much with climate change. Yeah, it's fiscally irresponsible, among other issues, but I suspect he was elected to deal with other stuff. Like a major budget issue in NJ.

Ryan, that's a cop out. Cap & Trade is reviled by the rank and file and is a job killer that only damages NJ's economy. Christie has a chance to stop it cold before RGGI is linked with other regional schemes. Don't make excuses for him.

Governor Christie is too fat, he won't win the nomination.

I like Christie but this information is not good. Since you exhaust yourself fighting everyone maybe he's picking his fights carefully. After all if you beat the teacher's unions it might not be so hard to beat the rest. Hopefully.

We can't afford to cripple our economy based on conclusions drawn from fraudulent science.

Note to Gov. Christie:

Come on, sir. Even Santa Claus knows he isn't real.
We're counting on you to reject the falsehood that Global Warming" (the New Religion of the Left) is Man-Made. Well, that's true~man did make it up so it's man made.
If you read the Bible you'll just have to come to the conclusion that God is in control. We couldn't destroy this planet if He paid us to do it.
And so, we the people do not want to be taxed (again) for a man made falsehood.
Give freedom a chance, I'm counting on you as always,
Thanks.

During his campaign, now Gov. Christie was endorsed and supported by the largest environmental group in NJ. He put a halt on a proposed Coal fired power plant in Union. He ordered that all refuse areas in NJ switch over to Solar. With some of the savings from the school budget cut, he is subsidizing a Green Co. to install wind mills off the NJ coast. He took decision making away from the Public Utilities, and gave the say to the environmentalist. Anyone still wondering why he said the jury is still out on Global Warming, even though the leaked emails proved the science was a hoax?
