So, I just read this article about Florida’s Governor DeSantis and his approach to climate change. And boy, is it a doozy! Basically, the article accuses DeSantis of having a “catastrophic” approach to climate change.
From what I gathered, DeSantis launched his re-election campaign with a plan that completely ignores the impact of climate change - which is a pretty big deal considering Florida is one of the states most affected by rising sea levels. Instead, his focus seems to be on promoting the state’s economy through large infrastructure projects while disregarding environmental concerns.
I have to admit, this hits pretty close to home for me. My family has a home in the Florida Keys, and every year, it seems like we’re dealing with worse hurricanes and flooding. It’s scary to think that our leaders could be so blind to the impact of climate change on our communities.
But this isn’t just a Florida problem - it’s a global issue. We need leaders who are willing to take action and prioritize the health of our planet over short-term economic gains.
All in all, the article makes a compelling case for why DeSantis’ approach to climate change is not only dangerous, but also irresponsible. It serves as a reminder that we all need to do our part to fight against climate change, and hold our leaders accountable for their actions (or inactions).
