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.

Where in Miami did you grow up? I was born and raised in Hialeah and my father was born and raised in allapatta
SW Miami. 63rd court. I went to Palmetto elementary, junior high and high school.
People once understood that the weather varied according to the seasons and natural variables.
Now scammers sell it to uninformed dumbasses as catastrophic Climate Change and tell them the only way to save the planet is to give more money to politicians.
Free movie is out exposing the climate change/global warming scam.

It’s a false religion.
Have you ever been to Arbetters hod dogs on Bird and 87 ave?
[[ (The highest Earth temperature ever recorded happened last July). ]]
Weird how qhat happens when you put the thermometers next to air co dictionary motors, and in parking lots of freshly paved blackest blacktop!
This reads like it was written by a 12 year old.
I really haven’t spent much time back in Miami since I left for college when I was 17. And that was a long time ago. My sisters still live there.
Yep, reality is a bitch at times but life keeps on going.
Enjoy your three score and ten as best you can.
Oh my GOOODDDD! We’re all gonna DIIIIE!!!
You had me worried. I thought I might see a photo of a dreaded White Man! None there. Thank Gaia.
You are precisely correct but......
I see at least three problems.
Hurricanes
Uninsurable real-estate
Unknown real-estate valuation as a result of the Condo collapse, insurance increase, condo association fees for future maintenance
The Florida insurance risk problem is going to be a real problem while it gets sorted. The fees for condo maintenance are also a really big unsorted problem
Tell them to check out Arbetters, it’s been there for 60 years. Think about that, in the middle of all them Cubans and it’s still there. Honestly the best hotdogs I’ve ever had.
Four seasons actually; early summer, mid summer, late summer and next summer
They do a hell of a lot also. They favor criminals over the law abiding. They make it so the law abiding cannot defend themselves from the acts of the criminal. They make it easy for perverts to molest children. They do a shit pot full of things other than just say things. All of them bad.
Yes, I posted it first. And I recall that you at first refused to watch it because you didn’t like the look at the beginning.
That movie was made by https://co2coalition.org/ , and they have the best information about the climate scam.
There’s no magic way to turn off eco-fanatics...

The answer to stupidity is to confront it. Good that this is posted on FR. I hope more knowledgeable people write letters to these editors & inform them of the facts.
