Miami Meteorologists rebukes DeSantis for scrubbing climate change from state law

[NewLifeInChristJesus]

Instead of defunding the police, we should defund climate alarmism. Florida gets it.

Is it "alarmism" to report the observable effects of climate change?

Examples:

Miami, where seas have risen six inches since 2010, offers a high-profile example of a predicament that parts of the southeast Atlantic and Gulf coasts are confronting — and one scientists say will become only more pervasive — as waters continue to rise.

When a meteorologists resports on 100 degree ocean water off the coast of Florida last summer?
And educates the public on the effects thereof?

Yes, I would say "100 degree ocean water off the coast of Florida" qualifies as climate alarmism.

It’s alarmism when you blame it on something man has done.

We know the anthropogenic factors that are the leading contributors to climate change. This is knowledge.

You need to source that graph or delete it.

He sourced it to Wikipedia. Further sourcing takes one to

• Mann, Michael E.; Bradley, Raymond S.; Hughes, Malcolm K. (1999), "Northern hemisphere temperatures during the past millennium: Inferences, uncertainties, and limitations", Geophysical Research Letters, 26 (6): 759–762, Bibcode:1999GeoRL..26..759M, doi:10.1029/1999GL900070.

I couldn't find the article online, just the Abstract.

Why is that so important? Why must man not have had anything to do with it?

Why is that so important? Why must man not have had anything to do with it?

Since we (human beings) aren’t responsible for the climate shifting (as it might seem to be) then we need not concern ourselves with trying to take steps and institute policies that might mitigate these apparent changes.
Pumping megatons of carbon-dioxide into the atmosphere is therefore “okay”.

If man isn’t the cause, there’s no reason to try to change anything. We should just enjoy the better plant life.

Rainforests which we’re also cutting down.

Carbon dioxide is good for ______.

Melting the icecaps and returning Florida to its preferred status as a reef.

Climate change would be a good issue for Democrats to exploit.

Homeowners' insurance policies in Florida have gone up 68% in two years.

Florida​

Home insurance prices are increasing faster in Florida than any other state. On average, premiums in the Sunshine State are up 35% compared to a year ago, according to our analysis. And when comparing the average original premium on policies quoted for renewal between May 2021 and May 2022 to the average quoted premium on policies that were quoted for renewal between May 2022 and May 2023, we found that home insurance prices in Florida were up an average of 68% over two years. https://www.policygenius.com/homeow...rida,to a year ago, according to our analysis.

I have heard it's not uncommon for Floridians to pay $1,000 a month for homeowners' insurance.

Politicians who hit taxpayers in the pocketbook generally hit hard on Election Day. Hopefully voters and citizens will let DeSantis know that they are fed up with unaffordable insurance and annual devastating hurricanes because he is anti-science.

Awesome.

The Climate religion has now replaced the apocalyptic religions in failed predictions for the earth's demise.

Not the Earth, just florida.

And every other plant.

If every other plant is already using the all of the CO2 that they are able to utilize, wouldn’t that be why the atmospheric CO2 level keeps rising?

They aren’t.
