Just to clarify your post; Christie said he believes "climate change" is real when he vetoed bill (S2946) that would have required "New Jersey to stay in a regional program intended to curb greenhouse gases — a program Christie plans to leave by the end of the year — the governor said 'climate change is real.'

According to the article in NJ.com, "Christie's come full circle on the issue. Last year, he told a town hall audience in Toms River he was skeptical climate change is the result of human activity. He backed off those comments at a conference of environmentalists in May and agreed to meet with climate scientists for a lesson in global warming.

"Later that month, during a news conference announcing he would pull the state out of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a 10-state partnership intended to curb power plant emissions of carbon dioxide, Christie took another step.

" 'I can’t claim to fully understand all of this,' he said. " 'Certainly not after just a few months of study. But when you have over 90 percent of the world’s scientists who have studied this stating that climate change is occurring and that humans play a contributing role it’s time to defer to the experts.' "

"He added that climate science is complex and 'we know enough to know that we are at least part of the problem.' "

I loved one of the comments following the article. It says, "90% of climate scientists that depend on government funding, say man is causing global warming. ...90% of public school teachers say that higher pay and more school funding will produce better students." LOL

So why is he leaving the program?
