The GOP no longer care about governing. All they want to do is RULE.
DeSantis signs bill scrubbing ‘climate change’ from Florida law
As long as those right wingers do like they say and stay where they are and learn to deal with their own problems. Don't come up here, we're full up.
That's what I find hilarious. Floridas gonna be the first underwater and this dude is just speeding up the process to own the libs
He's got some sweet white rubber boots and a vest...what does he care?
No, by Florida law, there is no climate change; it will sink in to the sea for no raisin. DeSantis am winning again! He is the greetest!
You are a gigantic brain.
That's fine. They should also put a big fence at the border of Florida so that when the state becomes unbearable to live in, people can't flee north to more bearable climes.
And Ron DeSantis had better not come north, ever. When Florida becomes an unbearable climate hellhole, he should be forced to stay there and roast to his doom.
PLEASE…I JUST WANT A BETTER LIFE FOR MY CHILDREN!!!
Then I recommend you stay out of the deep South.
A day is coming where the cries of asylum seekers and Floridians will be the same.
Because that will bring the home insurance companies back to Florida. Obviously.
/s, jic...
Don't look up
Make sure to scrub any mentions of the word “home insurance” because that doesn’t exist in Florida either.
As someone who works in insurance, I’ve been turning people away who want to move to FL because it’s so ridiculously difficult to get coverage.
Same. I do home and auto in Fl and every time I hear someone is moving there, I just sigh. Self insurance is a thing, but I personally think it’s insane.
Well during hurricane season you get no aid then. States rights right?
That ought to take care of it.
Haha another job well done. Good job everyone we did it. We beat climate change
Let em drown. Hopefully his high heels keep him above water.
Great work, Ron. "Drown baby, Drown."
When I was looking for property in Florida, a real estate agent friend said in confidence (I did a "RON Turn" and didn't go), "With the way things are looking, you might want to avoid areas where flooding will become a bigger issue in the coming years due to rising sea levels. I'm a Republican," he said. "I don't know if global warming is a thing, but it's better to be safe than sorry."
I didn't push him on why he said "I'm a Republican," but we know why; God forbid they admit to global warming.
Areas in Florida to avoid, he said: Miami Beach (below sea level by 2100), Key West, Fort Lauderdale, St. Petersburg, Cape Coral, Naples, Clearwater, Sarasota, and Tampa.
BM, "I dont now if it true, I'm just saying"
Also, Clearwater is over run with the Scientology cult
So is Ocala.
Really? My brother wants me to move there. I keep resisting for obvious reasons, here’s one more, 🤣
Fuck all of florida. If I could afford to leave, I'd be out.
I hear you, my brother and nephew both live there. Bro in Ocala, nephew in Satellite Beach. I just can’t bring myself to retire there and I’m in Texas! When I retire I want to flee north. If I can afford to…..
Yeah. I had the misfortune of being born in Ocala. It was never a great town, and now it's getting built up like gainesville and the same scummy people are in charge. It's trump country.
I’m sorry, I live in Trump country too. Head down mouth shut. 🤐
Fuck that I try to give them justification for their persecution complexes.
I’m an older woman living alone. I’m blending in. Especially with November coming. I used to be mouthy 25 years ago. Not so much today. I’ve got my guns though. If they think liberals don’t have them they’re sadly mistaken. 😬
I am talking about property values declining as water levels rise; not sure how the Scientology cult plays into the global warming subject?
Just another reason to not move to Clearwater
Seems like it, unless you like scuba diving in your living room!
So dumb. Just like the tobacco industry had doctors on the payroll, oil companies have “scientists” that will tell you climate change isn’t caused by human activities. You’ll be hard pressed to find any to say climate change doesn’t exist.
I almost feel bad for young Floridians having boomers with complete control over their state. whatever they're left with is going to be underwater in a few years.
probably time to get out.
DeSantis is Gen X. 1978.
He’s got the total boomer mindset.
Gen X formally disowns him.
this is going to sound terrible. Gen x and the boomers are basically the same.
I mean Gen xs are definitely sadder but they stand for the same type of principles just for different reasons boomers want infinite luxury at the cost of everyone else. Gen xs don't necessarily want that but through their apathy they consent to it they've been taught that none of their actions matter and so none of their actions do matter. this dude's a puppet for boomers just like so many other xers.
I know you're going to give me a million down votes but that doesn't make me wrong.
I do feel bad for them. In addition, they have pretty bad public schools that are not funded well, so the problem perpetuates itself. And now they are banning books to keep the bad ideas out. Like that ever worked!
And POOF! Just like that, no more climate change. I wonder how they will explain the loss of shoreline without a specific word for it?
So glad I have no kids and zero plans for any, because the world isn’t going to last much longer.
PROBLEM SOLVED. CRISIS AVERTED! EVERYONE TAKE A BOW!
He'll have some 'splainin' to do when Miami slips under the sea.
Tots and prayers for Florida.
No more fema aid for Florida
Whistling past the graveyard, aren't you ron?
"legally, it's not happening! What's that? I can't hear you with my head stuck in this hole!"
This mofo will beg Biden for help and again
Tum tum tum, de tum tum!
NYT daily podcast today talked about how the increased occurrence of disasters was breaking home insurance industry. Means you can’t buy a home on mortgage because you can’t cover total loss.
So the first wave of climate change impact is already happening. Likely to destroy the housing paper tiger market that underpins so many people’s wealth.
Those sea levels are gonna creep in regardless of whether this dumbfuck believes it or not.
Poor old Ron DeOstrich trying to keep his head in the sand.
Maybe higher cowboy heels will do it, Ronny.
Yeah. That’ll teach that pesky woke ocean
Ozymandias. Hope the good citizens of Floriduh are ready.
When Floridians have to take a boat to work, they'll be so-glad Ronnie scrubbed the phrase "climate change" from Florida law.
Oh yeah, this douche is still alive. Not politically mind you, but, breathing.
Too bad.
Fine...float out sea, and don't expect to be bailed out with federal dollars. Btw, when is Disney coming for DeSantis?
No one help any floridiots when they have to move because they didn’t listen. In fact I think a nice wall on their border would work just fine so they can’t get out
Enjoy your brackish water table, the rest of y’all get the fuck outta that sinking ship.
Can we take a moment to actually talk about why DeSantis would do this?
It’s because the fossil fuel lobby owns a vast majority of our elected leaders. The fossil fuel lobby spends a shit ton of money paying off governors, Congress people, state, local, and federal officials to make sure fossil fuels are used as much as possible to keep the price as high as possible. Fossil fuel companies don’t want to compete with renewable energy. Competition drives down prices and benefits consumers. Think of the fossil fuel shareholders stock prices
The fossil fuel executives and Wall St shareholders of the world are sleep walking humanity into extinction.

That’s alright, climate change is going to scrub Florida off the map.
