Republican Solves Climate Change by Making the Words Illegal
Ron DeSantis does it again
As of this week, Florida no longer has climate change, just like that in his ongoing campaign to make things disappear by making words illegal. Don’t Say Gay took care of homosexuality, censorship of children’s books stopped trans kids in their tracks, and now they have tackled climate change by making the words ‘climate change’ illegal.
I don’t know why no one else thought of this simple solution. Despite record high ocean and Gulf temps, the largest hurricane season ever projected, increasing numbers of tornadoes and floods, and ground waters turning saline, the state that is the poster boy for disastrous climate change no longer has it.
Seriously we are now seeing peak ‘bury your head in the ground’ Republican denial of anything their fossil fuel buddies don’t like. This despite the aforementioned ongoing climate disasters, a home and property insurance crisis, hundreds of destroyed homes that can’t be rebuilt because there is no insurance or contractors, and more.
Governor Ron DeSantis and his lackey state government don’t like reality much so they have decided to legislate it away, by making it illegal to refer to the greatest man made disaster affecting the entire planet. In the process they are doing their best to give the rest of us the impression that Florida is run by the biggest group of idiots ever elected.
Given that Florida is the state hit hardest by the reality of global warming, with it getting harder and harder to buy and own property, a water supply being replaced by salt water due to rising ocean levels, and storms that are capable of destroying entire cities, this bold action is overdue.
California should consider making the phrases ‘forest fires’, ‘mudslides’, and ‘drought’ illegal, saving the state billions in fighting these disasters. For Texas it might be ‘tornadoes’ and ‘floods’. After all they are suffering from record rainfall and constant destructive storms and they now have a weapon to easily end these cataclysms.
Watch for Texas Governor Abbott to jump on the linguistic war on these disasters. He could ship these words to the liberal states, thereby saving his state from a fake disaster. Watch…
