Florida officials were barred from saying 'climate change' once rick scott took power
"Officials responsible for making sure Florida is prepared to respond to the earth's changing climate are barred from using the terms "global warming" and "climate change" in official communications, emails and reports, according to new findings from the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting."
Climate change is a big problem for florida and is predicted to rise 2 ft by 2060. Rick Scott is angering scientists by downplaying the situation.
Last year, a reporter asked Scott whether man-made climate change "is significantly affecting the weather, the climate."scott said"Well, I'm not a scientist." (why does he wanna avoid that..?)
He says openly he doesn't believe in climate change. People are saying he needs to start worrying by protecting the state. Sea levels rising will begin to cause problems in the future.
The agency's press secretary told the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting that "DEP does not have a policy on this." The governor's office similarly said, "There's no policy on this."
