I used to be a government employee in the state of Florida (when Rick Scott was governor) as an environmental educator. One day, we received a memo that for all government employees the phrases “climate change”, “global warming”, and “sustainability” were now banned from our official duties. How was I supposed to teach about the environment in Florida without using those? I was still allowed to say “unusual weather event”.
I left this role, and Florida, and heard that this policy had been repealed.
Wouldn’t you know it, I heard from some of my colleagues still there that DeSantis just went ahead and did the same thing, while also making sure the new law impacts the energy grid.
So not only is their plan to ignore it - but they want to force no one else to talk about it either, or make any improvements on their own of their own volition.
Here’s a taste of the GOP view:
