A Republican Admits Scientific Reality

Chris Christie, Republican Governor of New Jersey, has changed his mind on climate change; he now accepts the overwhelming scientific view that man is in part responsible for recent climate change and it is beginning to influence our weather systems:



How did Christie come to this change? He talked to scientists and accepted their expertise. This seems to shock some people -- Marc Morano is deliciously apoplectic, and is trying to throw Christie under the same bus he tried to throw Newt Gingrich under. I don't think that's going to be as easy -- Christie has some integrity and seems much less interested in pandering than does Gingrich (or almost any other Republican).
