Florida Governor DeSantis rejects climate change rationale for record-breaking rain
Florida Governor DeSantis rejects climate change rationale for record-breaking rain
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his administration are pushing back against assertions that the storm had anything to do with climate change.
At this point, it's fairly common for significant rainfall events to have attribution studies showing that they're a result of the higher temperatures that fossil fuel burning has given us. Whether or not we end up with one for this particular event, it's something that we know will be more common if we keep on extracting and burning.
That's because Florida is SO FREE that it would be ILLEGAL for Desantis to say that!
Of course he does. And he also just signed a law to remove the term climate change from state law.
"man-made change of climate" it is then.
"It's not climate change. It's Antifa Water!"
It's not rain, it's just MAGA tears that built up since Trump lost in 2020.
Have you not been listening, Tump didn't lose.

DeSantis is a dangerous idiot that should be removed from power.
Lucky he is term limited as governor.
It's rained before
Florida is surrounded by water
There is no consensus
Rainfall record is inaccurate
Animals and Plants can adapt
Water is good for plants
There are always excuses when you're motivated by the size of bribe the fossil fuels industry can pay
Water is good for plants
some might even say ... its what plants crave! ™
Oh, what relevant degree does he have, and what relevant area of science does he work in, again? I forgot.
Fucking idiot...
Hard to imagine being this dumb. These people just aren't firing on all cylinders...
It's not about dumb. it's that the fossil fuels industry is the biggest patron of the Republican Party, and they know who butters their toast
Yeah there are the grifters and the grifted and I'm mostly directing my frustration toward the common Joe who believes all this.
DeSantis’ political base doesn’t believe in climate change, which is sort of like saying you don’t believe in gravity
