As if 'woke' caused the sea levels to rise, the forest lighting up, hurricanes to triple....
DeSantis is like the kid hiding behind a hand before his eyes.
If I don't see it, it is not there.
Let's face it... DeSantis is a Boomer. And if any generation is responsible for the pending destruction it is the white old rich guys.
As if ripping out the texts is going to solve a problem.
"DeSantis says he’s ‘restoring sanity’ by erasing climate change from Florida laws"

Quotes:
"While Floridians suffered through record heat, DeSantis signed legislation keeping "windmills off our beaches."
"On Wednesday, as heat records fell, he [DeSantis JdeB] signed legislation deleting most references to the words “climate change” from the state’s laws and removing emissions reductions as a priority for energy policy."
"...the new law “will keep windmills off our beaches, gas in our tanks, and China out of our state,” he wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “We’re restoring sanity in our approach to energy and rejecting the agenda of the radical green zealots.”
“I think a lot of it is messaging and rhetoric,” said Yoca Arditi-Rocha, the executive director of the CLEO Institute, a climate education and advocacy nonprofit in Florida. But at the same time, the law will have a real impact, she said. “This is a really good opportunity for the gas industry to push out more infrastructure and boost more expansion.”
"The law also removes a requirement that government agencies purchase fuel-efficient vehicles and strips away a clause that gave state officials the authority to set renewable energy targets for Florida."
