As residents and businesses in South Florida assessed the damage from this week’sand floods, Gov. Ron DeSantis and his administration pushed back against assertions that the storm had anything to do with climate change.
The Republican governor declared a state of emergency for South Florida, but at a news briefing Friday he downplayed the idea that the storm was unusual. He said there have been similar events “going back decades.” No storm-related fatalities were reported, but some communities experienced waist-deep flooding and residents needed to be rescued.that removes most references to climate change in state law. The legislation, which is set to take effect July 1, eliminates climate change as a priority in making energy policy decisions, even though Florida routinely faces threats from extreme heat, deadly hurricanes and toxic algae blooms.
“What amazes me about the current discussion on Florida’s weather is that the left seems to believe that @GovRonDeSantis can control how much it rains, but he just refuses to use his power to do so,” DeSantis press secretary Jeremy Redfern wrote on X.
