2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumGov Christie: "Breathing contributes to climate change"
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by MineralMan (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).
Republican presidential candidate denies saying "by breathing we contribute to" climate change.
Christie at an Aug. 4 event in Manchester, NH:
"Does human activity contribute to it? Of course it does.
We all contribute to it in one way or the other. By breathing we contribute to it."
Aug. 29 event in Laconia, NH, a young woman asked Christie to clarify those comments:
"Do you really believe that humans exhaling carbon dioxide contributes to climate change?"
"Give me my microphone back," Christie responded with annoyance.
"I never said that humans contribute to climate change by breathing," Christie said.
