You can't delete climate change!
Florida Republicans are attempting to pass House Bill 1645, which would delete the phrase “climate change” from Florida state law. While Floridians are confronted with rising sea levels, more hurricanes, and record heat index temperatures, state legislators would rather focus on deleting any mention of climate change from state law.
Why is this important?
We can’t address environmental threats and natural disasters without naming the root cause: climate change. Floridians live on the front line of the climate crisis. With record-breaking temperatures, rising sea levels, and home insurance rates skyrocketing due to climate-related liabilities, we need our elected officials to respond with urgency and accuracy, not censorship.
We cannot accept 'adapting' to the climate crisis. Solely reacting to the consequences of climate change is not a strategy—our legislators to be proactive and to acknowledge the reason why these disasters are occurring: climate change.
We demand our elected officials stop denying climate change and attempting to delete it from state law. Floridians believe the science proving human-caused climate change. It's time for our leaders to meet the climate crisis with the same concern as their constituents.
