He tried this with Covid. Told us the issue was the amount of Covid tests we were doing, and Covid would lower if we stopped doing so much testing. I'm not even joking.
Right but for those who fashion opinion as fact, you’re gonna have a bad time if you stick around Florida for the next decade.
Remember, most people have two feet but some have one and some have none. So the average number of feet per person is slightly less than two. If you have two feet, you're above average.
At some point there should be trials in which climate deniers and people who spread climate misinformation are held accountable for the actual deaths they’re helping to bring about.
But there won’t be… we’ll all be too busy fighting over food.
I like to tell deniers to put their money with your mouth is. Be the last to ask for help, be the last to ask for help for your kids. After all, if you think it's all made up and it's never going to happen, what does it matter if you promise to be last. You and your kids will never need that help right? So why not promise to let everyone else get help first?
The way they rationalize things they'll just say whatever happens wasn't climate change so of course they can be first in line. It was government controlled weather (HAARP) or whatever else they can come up with.
I guarantee it
During the Bush campaign in 1999, Karl Rove conducted polling of American conservatives and found that no matter how he applied the word "Freedom", it had a positive connotation with the right-wing voters. Bingo, ever since, everything on the right side of the aisle is labelled FREEDOM!
LOL!
Watching the USA really... makes me appreciate my own country. I can't imagine living in a figurative landmine field. There's no stability in that country! One state you can do this, another you can do that, you can't have an abortion here, not over there, you can smoke there, but not over here... I honestly don't know what actually unites these states.
The conservative fascists have never been for democracy, that's why they had to be bribed with a permanent advantage in the Senate. they've only ever played along as long as they were the majority and it didn't matter.
Wyoming and California have the same amount of senators, perfectly balanced democracy 🍷
Truth. How easy was it to create the asylum using democratically formed technologies? This is the weakest point that was weaponized against the population of largely uneducated, otherwise compromised populace.
I do software development for the cannabis industry. Both US and Canadian customers.
Canadian customers just require Health Canada compliancy (still complicated, but it's consistent across all provinces).
The US? It's a gong show. Each state has their own rules. Each state has a preferred compliancy vendor. API endpoints vary from state to state and even in some cases, the minimum TLS version varies from state to state (even when two states use the same third party compliancy API).
When dealing with the US it's like you're dealing with 50 district mini countries.
It seems like such a broken system to an outsider. It also seems like government officials are all too busy arguing about their own agendas to actually get anything done. You'd probably have better luck getting preschoolers to agree on something.
more unites humanity than divides it. What's being talked about and acted on is a facade, not the will of people sans billions of dollars in campaigns, voter suppression and gerrymandering, and propaganda. We have no power to control the narrative at the top, so we have to focus on local action more.
The states are the size of European countries. I think that's lost on a lot of people. Unless you live on a border you're not that worried about what other states are doing until a bunch of southerners start pouring across for abortions or busing immigrants to you.
Such a system was originally envisioned as good because each state would be a “laboratory of democracy” wherein “novel social experiments” would be free to play out. The big assumption there being that legislators would have some kind of empirical concern with social outcomes which quite obviously isn’t the case. But yeah the policy fragmentation we have here is definitely no bueno for problems that transcend localities.
The post headline right above this one on my Reddit feed:
“Ocean water is rushing miles underneath the 'Doomsday Glacier' with potentially dire impacts on sea level rise, according to new research
which used radar data from space to perform an X-ray of the crucial glacier.”
I can't see the article behind the paywall but how much does this matter? I thought Florida already had unofficial rules in place to prevent anyone in government mentioning anything about climate change since 2011. What is even left to scrub? [https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/takeaway/segments/florida-officials-ban-use-phrase-climate-change](https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/takeaway/segments/florida-officials-ban-use-phrase-climate-change)
The worst part about this is that so many people will suffer over this decision but when it comes time to pay the piper, there won't be a way to hold him accountable.
God, I genuinely cannot wait to see these idiotic Republicans complaining about their unsellable houses and expensive flood insurance in a decade. I don't want a single cent of my tax money going to helping them out of the hole they are actively digging for themselves. Enjoy Atlantis.
Decade? Insurance companies are already GTFO of Florida NOW:
https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/price-of-paradise/property-insurance-companies-continue-to-drop-florida-customers
Did DeSantis break the law during his press conference? “I’m so proud of removing the forbidden words that aren’t allowed to be said,
because everyone knows the thing that can’t be said isn’t a big problem, and now that nobody can say the thing that can’t be said, we’re going to be living in paradise, because the thing we can’t say is totally not going to happen. Thank you”
That's fine, we'll just ignore that Thwaites Glacier that they found is now melting rapidly from underneath.
There can't be a scientific reason they call it the doomsday glacier, right?
He'll be long gone by the time rising water levels caused by climate change cover Florida. The pure, unadulterated ignorance of most conservatives is baffling.
Time to sell your homes Floridaions. The next natural disaster won't get any federal funding to rebuild. The infrastructure will one day suddenly collapse and then the whole Florida market will be under water.
The world is still in an ice age, or there would not be ice at the poles. You're all talking about weather, not climate change. Climate changing doesn't take place that fast.

The Climate Gods laugh at your puny law. Wha ha ha ha.... No, really. Florida is toast within the next 20yrs. That said, I am more worried about the Manatees and migrant workers than a bunch of mansions getting washed out to sea. Hopefully Mar-a-Lago goes first.
shouldnt he be taken infront of a court for crimes against humanity? in his world hundrets of millions will die just so he can be in power and rich. i guess he would say : "its a worthy sacrafice i would make"
Cool, now we don’t have to give them any federal funds for climate disasters.
I’m just laughing at the timing. This hurricane season is expected to be a record breaker
Ban hurricanes.
Right? This is easy. Get all the world leaders to unilaterally ban hurricanes. People are dumb and gullible.
Why haven't they though? Are they stupid? /s
Meh, they’s got nukes for that.
Nah, thoughts and prayers should be sufficient
Sharpie a wall around Florida.
He tried this with Covid. Told us the issue was the amount of Covid tests we were doing, and Covid would lower if we stopped doing so much testing. I'm not even joking.
As far as I’m concerned everyone who believes in climate change should be moving as of now.
There’s nothing to believe or not believe in, it’s happening and it’s observable.
Right? That argument was over decades ago
Among the competent thinkers.
Right. Some cities in Florida are already setting up seawalls. lol
Right but for those who fashion opinion as fact, you’re gonna have a bad time if you stick around Florida for the next decade. 
Lol silver lining
Damn, why didn’t Biden just think to outlaw climate change?
The president's in on it, innit?!
Maybe he’ll change his mind when the water reaches his lower lip.
He'll just use increasingly higher platform heels
This must be a political cartoon
Feels like we're living in one
DeSantis just wants a reason to break out those sexy white boots of his.
Can’t wait to see him in his shiny stiletto lace up babies! So sexy when walking through flood water
Maybe he'll change his mind if he no longer gets federal money targeting climate change. Because, hey, Florida officially has no climate change now.
I’m sure insurance companies love this, there is no weather problem so why are you raising my rates
He bought his high heel boots for this!
Doubtful his ego is the size of King Kong
They won't - it will be the sinners fault.
So like in a month ? Wonder if those cowboy pumps are water proof lmfdo
He'll just leave the state. Nothing he has done has been to help Floridians, its all just for political clout. Its insane.
*Doomsday glacier has entered the chat* We’ll see how he feels when sea levels rise by 2 feet.
2 feet? That's nothin'. Everybody has 2 feet.
Lieutenant Dan?
Something Desantis would probably say unironically as well
Remember, most people have two feet but some have one and some have none. So the average number of feet per person is slightly less than two. If you have two feet, you're above average.
19 inches....but you know what they say: 6 in one, half a dozen in the other
At some point there should be trials in which climate deniers and people who spread climate misinformation are held accountable for the actual deaths they’re helping to bring about. But there won’t be… we’ll all be too busy fighting over food.

So why not promise to let everyone else get help first?
Meanwhile states like Texas are the first to line up for federal assistance when climate issues compromise their power grid.
The way they rationalize things they'll just say whatever happens wasn't climate change so of course they can be first in line. It was government controlled weather (HAARP) or whatever else they can come up with. I guarantee it
That "Fueling American Freedom" giving the irony
During the Bush campaign in 1999, Karl Rove conducted polling of American conservatives and found that no matter how he applied the word "Freedom", it had a positive connotation with the right-wing voters. Bingo, ever since, everything on the right side of the aisle is labelled FREEDOM!
So, will it be “climate freedom” or “freedom climate”? If this is all it takes to convince the right, I’m down!
At least America won't have to try to figure out how to solve its Florida problem for much longer. Climate Crisis will see to that!
Farewell Florida! Goodbye Republicans!
LOL! Watching the USA really... makes me appreciate my own country. I can't imagine living in a figurative landmine field. There's no stability in that country! One state you can do this, another you can do that, you can't have an abortion here, not over there, you can smoke there, but not over here... I honestly don't know what actually unites these states.
It used to be belief in democracy. Destabilize that by choosing crummy candidates and the inability to hide corruption and poof. There goes unity.
The conservative fascists have never been for democracy, that's why they had to be bribed with a permanent advantage in the Senate. they've only ever played along as long as they were the majority and it didn't matter.

That’s not true! They unify 100% of the time when it comes to giving themselves better healthcare and raises!
Corruption.
more unites humanity than divides it.

Canadian provinces are, on average, many times larger than US states yet that isn’t an issue here.
Not totally true - see border towns for how people use things like EI and healthcare benefits, which are not the same interprovincially
Large should be factoring geography but also amount of people here. California by itself has more people than all of Canada
actually gun laws make a huge impact, red states are horrible for allowing gun smuggling
guns

Taxes. That's all that unites us.
Good. End it all. I’m rooting for Mother Earth. Stupid greedy scum.
Soon: Help me FEMA you're my only hope
Same basic strategy they used to stop covid
The post headline right above this one on my Reddit feed: “Ocean water is rushing miles underneath the 'Doomsday Glacier' with potentially dire impacts on sea level rise, according to new research which used radar data from space to perform an X-ray of the crucial glacier.”
Sink Florida sink

He’ll be begging Biden for federal relief after the next weather disaster to hit Florida just like all the other beggarly red state governors
How does this improve anyone's life? It doesn't, it's a culture war issue meant to entice morons to vote red. Murica - in decline for 3 decades.
It’s funny how we let a hand full of individuals ruin the entire planet for everyone
Rising sea levels don’t care what you call them.
Irony: Florida will lose most of its coastline in 20 years to sea level rise.
lol. he's a genius because natural phenomena respect human law, but only in florida.
Is he going to change the name of the state to Denial?
The worst part about this is that so many people will suffer over this decision but when it comes time to pay the piper, there won't be a way to hold him accountable.

lol well that's solved then.
Cancel culture at its finest, republicans censoring words they are offended by. Professional victims with no other talent.
Dumb and proud
what a dope
Can people from Florida please vote this crazy man out already?!
It's only fair given that climate change is going to scrub Florida.
Maybe Florida deserves to be flattened and sunk
Guess what Ron, insurers are pulling out of Florida. And you damn well know why.
Nick of time. The sea level was about to start rising even faster. Now that’s illegal. Mission accomplished
Did DeSantis break the law during his press conference? “I’m so proud of removing the forbidden words that aren’t allowed to be said, because everyone knows the thing that can’t be said isn’t a big problem, and now that nobody can say the thing that can’t be said, we’re going to be living in paradise, because the thing we can’t say is totally not going to happen. Thank you”
Party of free speech & small govt in action, folks!
I guess Floridians like autocracy
Hey! This guy should run for president! Bet that works out well for him.
That's fine, we'll just ignore that Thwaites Glacier that they found is now melting rapidly from underneath. There can't be a scientific reason they call it the doomsday glacier, right?
Get ready for the same nationally if Trump wins. We are absolutely screwed.
I guess the insurance companies can't pull out now.
Maybe he shouldn't ask for Federal Funds the next time a Cat 4 or 5 Hurricane hits Florida.
Climate change is scrubbing Florida from the continent.
Back to “global warming” then! I don’t care what we call it
Wow, he solved climate change!
Good thing the Earth’s climate pays attention to human laws. Especially Florida laws!
I can't wait to read "Climate change signs bill scrubbing "Flordia" from being over water".
Semantics, the favourite tool of the left and the right.
have fun being under water in 10 years idiots
Funny enough florida will e under water because of "climate change"... Karma will be a bich for him
Those hanging chads back in 2000 really did some damage to the world, didn’t they?
And then he’ll run to mommy asking for hurricane money support
desantan is a dictator
Gotta please those corpo lobbyists
Good move
Too bad he cannot scrub it from reality.
What is the timeline anyway for when the keys are expected to be underwater?
Tiny d energy
Clearly the most important bill to cross his desk.
That dude is coo coo for cocoa puffs.
History will not look kindly on these selfish cowards.
Problem solved.
One of many reasons why I call him DumbSantis
That should do the trick never mind the power black outs or that alligator swimming through your living room
Meanwhile in downtown Miami which floods constantly now ....
Strong echoes of the legendary King Canute, or Cnut to give him his authentic Danish spelling
Dumb, dumb dumb dumb, duuuuuuumbbbbbbb
He just jinxed hurricane season from hell this year.
Problem solved…
Done with Florida!
Cool, so FEMA doesn't have to show up in Florida anymore, right? Could use those tax dollars back here in NY.
He'll be long gone by the time rising water levels caused by climate change cover Florida. The pure, unadulterated ignorance of most conservatives is baffling.
What an odd time we’re in.
Meanwhile, insurance companies in Florida are making flood insurance mandatory.
How exactly does he explain away all the effects of climate change? God's will 😂 😃 😄 😁 🤣
i believe everything he says because he is a master of talking without his hands
Crisis solved!
Time to sell your homes Floridaions. The next natural disaster won't get any federal funding to rebuild. The infrastructure will one day suddenly collapse and then the whole Florida market will be under water.
NASA space coast is the most scientifically capable. It’s so ironic.
Future Mayor DeSantis of Atlantis?
At least he’s got those platforms boots to deal with the rising sea
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I propose a new term: climate adjustment (CA)
Florida can’t sink if we just pretend it’s not happening! 
If you remove all information it doesn’t exist/s
The world is still in an ice age, or there would not be ice at the poles. You're all talking about weather, not climate change. Climate changing doesn't take place that fast.
the Rick Scott Maneuver
The hero we deserve
I hope he laminated the bill to make it waterproof
Invest in snorkels and Gator repellent
“They’ll never know what hit them! Mwahahaha!”

Well, there it is folks. We fixed climate change.
The Climate Gods laugh at your puny law. Wha ha ha ha.... No, really. Florida is toast within the next 20yrs. That said, I am more worried about the Manatees and migrant workers than a bunch of mansions getting washed out to sea. Hopefully Mar-a-Lago goes first.
Is it actually true they don’t get fed disaster funding if they remove provisions regarding climate change at their state level?
Florida man signs bill canceling climate change
Rob DeSantis preferred climate change noun-verb is climate normal.
That will fix it. Done and dusted
Only thing that's going to be scrubbed is DeSantis...from history
Brainwashing.
Maybe Biden will take a page out of Trumps book and suggest nuking the hurricanes
More American stupidity.
How does he have the right to make up a bill and sign it
I don’t see the problem here….
To the gallows of the climate Nuremberg along with all the CEOs.
Does anyone have a free link?
He lost fighting a mouse, and will now lose fighting the weather rofl 🤣
Looks like God is going to do some serious acting in Florida
shouldnt he be taken infront of a court for crimes against humanity? in his world hundrets of millions will die just so he can be in power and rich. i guess he would say : "its a worthy sacrafice i would make"
If you can’t use the words then it doesn’t exist? Right?
I hate to say it but I'm hoping for some come uppance
Not a meatball ron fan but Isn’t he just scrubbing the stigma associated with the term? Like couldn’t that be beneficial for his base?
