Depends on what your definition of "said" is.
This is just classic. Chris Christie getting combative and indignant when faced with his own ignorance. Kate Sheppard has
the details:
At an Aug. 29 event in Laconia, New Hampshire, a young woman volunteering with the group NextGen Climate 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 really care about this subject," she responded.
"I know you really care about this subject, but you know what, the first thing you need to do is not be wrong, and not quote me incorrectly. I never said that humans contribute to climate change by breathing," Christie said.
"I never said it," he continued when she reminded him of the date and event. "Were you there?"
She confirmed that she was there and that she heard him say it.
"Then you need to clean out your ears, young lady," the candidate replied. "I never said that humans contribute to climate by breathing. Ridiculous statement. I never said that."
So here's the quote in question:
"The climate's been changing forever, and it will always continue to change," said Christie at an Aug. 4 event in Manchester, New Hampshire, which was captured on video. "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."
Oops. For some reason, Christie's campaign never responded to Huffington Post's request for further comment.
