Tell Governor Christie: Global Warming is Real
More than 100 days since Superstorm Sandy hit, I'm disappointed with your statement that you don't have time to ponder the cause of storm. Leading climatologists have linked global warming with increasing the intensity of extreme weather events.
I want to know what your plan is to tackle global warming --- because that is not esoteric.

Why is this important?
Over 100 days after Superstorm Sandy hit Governor Christie said he doesn’t have time “to ponder the esoteric question of the cause of the storm.”
Sadly, there’s nothing to ponder. As New Jersey’s own state climatologist put it, there’s nothing esoteric about it. Hurricanes are nothing new, of course. But global warming supercharges storms, as warming ocean waters fuel more powerful storms and rising sea levels result in more damage to our Shore.
We could use the governor’s leadership to help us reduce the pollution that’s behind global warming and extreme weather.
Instead, Gov. Christie has pulled us out of the landmark Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) to cap pollution from power plants; raided almost $700 million from New Jersey’s clean energy programs; and killed the largest mass transit project in America.
Add your voice. Sign the petition and ask him to lead on global warming.
