The New Jersey chapter of the Sierra Club is accusing the Christie administration of ignoring and hiding its own report on climate change.

A report issued in June by the state Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Science predicted sea levels will continue to rise. That prompted the environmental group to say the administration should change its strategy on rebuilding at the Shore after Hurricane Sandy.

“We should be building on sound science, not on a foundation of sand that will get washed away with the next storm,” said Jeff Tittel, director of the Sierra Club in New Jersey.

“What this report clearly shows is that climate change is stronger than the storm,” Tittel added, in a parody of Christie’s television commercials inviting people to the rebuilt Shore. “If you do not believe climate change is real and there is a threat from sea level rise, then you wil not take the steps to prepare New Jersey for its future impacts and future storms."
