If there is a magic way to stop climate change from wreaking havoc on Florida, reverse sea-level rise and lower the kind of scalding summer temperatures Miami saw last year, lawmakers may have figured it out.
It’s called denial.
It hasn’t worked in past decades. A 2023 report by scientists, published in the journal Bioscience, warned that inaction to reduce carbon emissions is driving the planet toward “dangerous instability.” (The highest Earth temperature ever recorded happened last July).
Apparently, the Republican-dominated Legislature’s plan on how to address climate change in Florida before it’s too late is to hit the “delete” button — literally.
House Bill 1645 is reminiscent of the days when then-Gov. Rick Scott’s administration stopped state workers from using “climate change” in their official communication. The new legislation, approved in the 2024 session, removes most mentions of the term from state law, among other things.
This legislation only steers Florida toward keeping its reliance on fossil fuels.
The bill also bans offshore windmills. Florida doesn’t attract that kind of renewable energy today because of its lower wind speeds, but that could change as technology evolves. Critics worry the ban could scare innovation away from the state in the future, the Times/Herald Tallahassee Bureau reported.
The climate is changing and negative consequences are already here. Last summer, Miami set 10 daily temperature records and 27 daily heat index records, the Herald reported.
Deleting the words “climate change” might make it easier for lawmakers to escape accountability. But it makes it no easier for South Florida to deal with its very real impacts.

Because in reality, based on historical, geologic data, we are in a very cool period of earth's history.
CO2 vs Temperature:
Global Temperature Trends From 2500BC to 2040AD:
The average high temperature in Florida this month is 78 degrees. The average low is 56 degrees. That’s boiling?
Actually, China and India are helping the planet by putting more CO2 into the atmosphere. American agriculture is being assisted by Chinese and Indian CO2.
Indeed it would require magic if the sea levels were actually rising and summer temps were scalding. What would they have the governor do to stop that?! Hysterical ramblings from the editorial staff.
If there’s ice at the poles we’re still in an ice age. Enjoy this brief interglacial period.
There’s a movie about the climate scam that has been posted here on FR a few times. A little hokey but well worth watching for the data it provides.

Florida is hot in the summer? What? Whatever they do don’t tell me the same global warming is happening in Arizona during the summer too!
Noted scientists debunk all this garbage on:

It’s excellent.
All the DeSantis haters can leave the state. I’ll hold the door…..
So it is hot in Miami in the summer! Who knew!
I’ve lived here since 1956 and I never noticed!
Sorry, but the people who live in Florida CANNOT ‘save the planet’ from Global Warming, and for that matter neither can the people who live in the United States ‘save the planet’ from Global Warming, nor can the people who live in the West ‘save the planet’ from Global Warming.
If it is somehow possible for humans to ‘save the planet’ from Global Warming, then the ONLY WAY that can be done is by taking down CHINA, and the only way to do that is to first take down Russia, as they supply most of the China’s raw materials and energy.
Oh.....now the Zeepers are starting to make sense to me.
And one of Biden’s ancient ancestors invented the thermometer way back in 200 B.C!
dittos....from Climate The Movie (The Cold Truth)
Scientists note temperature gauges were once on the outskirts of cities, but as cities grew they now are positioned within the urban core and subject to the heat island effect. Relocate those temp gauges and we find virtually zero warming.
Also shown is a good demo of the sun’s role in the creation of clouds, which greatly affects temperatures.
And..our now dangerously low level of CO2 as it pertains to plant (food) growth.
Yes. Florida always had cold temps in the spring through fall months. (S)
Prove it Comrade.
Saul Alinsky would be proud
In Florida we have 2 seasons, hot and really HOT!!
When one city has ZERO personal income tax and another has 13%, some people may consider this a reason to move.
When one city has a mayor that protects it's citizens, puts felons in jail and supports it's police and the other gives the middle finger to it's citizens and police and coddles it's criminals, some people may consider that a reason to move.
When one city protects illegal aliens and the other arrests them, some people may consider this a reason to move.
And then there is the beach and the over all wonderful weather {even with the awful globull warming}.
Makes sense to me.
