A bill backed by the speaker of the Florida House would also make wide-ranging changes to state energy policies.
A bill advancing through the Florida Legislature with the backing of the House speaker would delete the majority of references to climate change in state law.
House Bill 1645 would enact wide-ranging changes to Florida’s energy policy, something Speaker Paul Renner, R-Palm Coast, has said is needed to ensure state residents’ power is reliable and affordable.
In the process, the bill would delete eight times the phrase “climate change” is mentioned in current law (compared to seven instances where it would be left untouched). Sometimes, the phrase is deleted from sentences that are otherwise left mostly intact. In other cases, the bill would repeal entire sections of law that mention climate change, such as a grant program that helps local governments and school districts reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The bill would also reduce certain regulations on natural gas pipelines, preempt local governments’ control over the location of natural gas storage facilities and make it so state agencies and local governments no longer have to consider fuel efficiency when buying vehicles, among other changes.

Climate change could remove the majority of mentions of Florida from states.
its specially ironic since florida is a paved over swamp.
i bet it will be the first us state to be underwater because of climate change
It’ll become the next Venice and Venice will become the next Atlantis
Fucking LOL.
The epitome of burying your head in the sand. If you don’t talk about it, it must not be real! Delusional idiots.

In an ironic twist, the only current mention of climate change in Florida law is a non-binding resolution declaring climate change is a woke conspiracy.
Let’s privatize hurricane and flood aid to them as a result. Maybe Disney will trickle down some of their wealth to the victims?
100%. Stop letting dumfukian states come begging the fed for aid then pissing all over the hand that feeds AND the problem. Tie aid packages to requirements to get with the program, sending them a bill in 2 years (or whatever)with interest if they don’t.
What wealth? Disney is on course to go off a cliff
lol rights disappearing faster than the florida coastline.
“Why do we have category 6 hurricanes now?”
Thanks, Obama.
The woke mob /s
That’s just conspiracy therory hot air. /s
The Atlantic Ocean could remove the majority of land area of Florida from American coastlines.
Should the denial of federal funding for the inevitable sea wall be hundreds of pages of redacted text? It’s a conundrum.
Florida will just issue a restraining order on the Atlantiv Ocean.

Ostriches.
I fucking hate living in this damned state. A state of hicks and psycho narcissists. All governed by a high heeled fascist fucktard. Go ahead and pretend climate change isn’t a thing to please your hicks. This coming summer is going to be a whole lot of egg beaten into all of our godamn faces.
Fuck you Florida.
They now proudly refuse vaccines to die of COVID, oppose legislation that would benefit them, and now Florida Republicans evidently want to live underwater. Destroying themselves is so hot right now on the right.
It’s like a kid throwing a fit when their parents make them eat some vegetables and threatening to hold their breath until they pass out.
That’s okay. A lot of it will be underwater anyway.
Hahaha 🤣 so when (not if) they sink under the waves, we can attribute it to god.
Meaning you musta did something to piss god off.
Meaning fuck you Florida GOP.
