In May, DeSantis signed a bill that removes most references to climate change from state law and streamlines fossil fuel development projects—"Don't Say Climate Change," the bill's critics have called it, including a meteorologist who spoke up against it on air. On the day he signed the legislation, Key West was a record-setting 115°F.

"If we stop people from using the words 'climate change' that means we won't have any more flooding or hurricanes. I'm the smartest." - Meatball Ron

"If walk on the track and I close my eyes, the train won't hit me!"

That's not true at all!

You also need to put in headphones so you can't hear that pesky whistle.

To be fair you'll never know it hit you.

I mean, it'll be pretty obvious that's what's happening even with your eyes closed. Just like it's pretty obvious what's happening in Florida.

It’s not a hurricane. It’s a combined air/water relocation event.

Congress should force him to add the references back in before giving himself the money.

And make sure all the people who really need the help know why.

Aren't they just moving on to calling it climate apocalypse cause climategeddon was already taken.
