    The fun thing about reality is, it doesn’t care what you want to be true or not.

    The science indicates that the earth is rapidly warming, caused by greenhouse gases released by humans, and that one of the severe environmental effects of that is rising sea levels due to melting polar ice.

    Florida can’t wish that away, and will have to deal with it sooner or later.

      They will bitch and whine for handouts to fix it as “an unforeseen emergency” and blame the federal government. It’s the only thing they know how to do.

    “Florida is on the front lines of the warming climate crisis, and the fact that we’re going to erase that sends the wrong message,… It sends the message, at least to me and to a good majority of Floridians, that this is not a priority for the state.”

    What do you mean “sends the wrong message?” This 100 percent is NOT a priority for the state. When the state tells you who they are, believe them.

    Well then I guess climate change is gonna have to erase most of Florida and its laws.

    There is a comical amount of Florida’s surface area that is like 6m or less above mean sea level. I give them less than a century.

    I hate this man so much. He’s speed-running at doing harm.

    C’mon, Ronnie. Take the cue from your beyond embarrassing election failure and disappear from the public office.
