To: Governor Ron DeSantis
Tell Rick Scott To #ActOnClimate
This campaign has ended.
Florida has been identified as one of the most vulnerable places on the planet to the effects of climate change. Some of these effects are already occurring as a recent report revealed, "Florida already faces serious risks from flooding and coastal storms, and climate change is likely to substantially increase these risks."
Your response to this emergency is unacceptable and you even fired a state employee just for using the term "climate change." You recently received a letter from California Governor, Jerry Brown urging you to #ActOnClimate.
We agree with Gov. Brown and urge you to use your final three years to develop and implement policies that will address and make Florida more resilient to climate change.

Why is this important?
California Governor Jerry Brown just served Gov. Rick Scott with a major dose of Climate Reality. Florida is one of the most vulnerable places on the planet to the effects of climate disruption. A 2015 report declared, "Florida faces more risk than any other state that private, insurable property could be inundated by high tide, storm surge and sea level rise. By 2030, up to $69 billion in coastal property will likely be at risk of inundation at high tide that is not at risk today. " But don't tell that to Gov. Scott, a climate denier that literally fired a state employee just for using the term "Climate Change."
That's why Gov. Brown wrote Rick Scott a letter that in part told him, "If you're truly serious about Florida's economic well being, it's time to stop the silly political stunts and start doing something about climate change."1 We totally agree -- Rick Scott has embarrassed our great state and put it at risk long enough, and we demand that he use his final three years to take serious steps to address climate change.
Sign our petition telling Gov. Scott to #ActOnClimate, before it's too late to save Florida, and the planet.
