And the FL governor will outlaw THAT, too.

LOL!

Probably.

I have to admit I don't understand outlawing something like that in this country this day and age.

Let's face it Florida is going to suffer from the ocean level rise more and more no matter what anyone says or does.

Aha!

Well, the term global warming does lack credibility with those of us who did not leave the globe, but continue to experience cold and colder winters. It sounds like an exaggeration.

Climate change sounds like something eternal and inevitable and historical. Something we will adapt to.

Climate Disruption sounds more like an emergency.



Does anybody think that somebody is seeking more publicity, money, or authority with this new terminology? Or are they secretly trying to further undermine credibility of the climate experts by giving the impression that they can't even agree what they're complaining about?

Not "outlawed," exactly. Supposedly there was a word-of-mouth executive order to relevant state environmental agencies not to use the terms "global warming" or "climate change. Scott denies it, therefore I believe it.

And, it turns out they actually meant it.

Washington, DC — A Florida state employee is in hot water for speaking about climate change at an official meeting and keeping notes of that discussion in official minutes, according to a complaint filed today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). In response, his superiors at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) issued him a letter of reprimand, ordered him to take two days leave and then told him not to return until he had medical clearance of his fitness for duty..

Barton Bibler is a long-time DEP employee who now serves as Land Management Plan Coordinator in its Division of State Lands. He attended a Florida Coastal Managers Forum on February 27, 2015 at which climate change and sea-level rise were discussed among a mix of public attendees. Mr. Bibler’s official notes on this meeting reflected all of that discussion. He was directed to remove any hot button issues, especially explicit references to climate change, and then was given a letter of reprimand for supposedly misrepresenting that the “official meeting agenda included climate change.”.

As he was given the reprimand on March 9th, Mr. Bibler was told to not return to work for two days which would be charged against his personal leave time. Two days later he received a “Medical Release Form” requiring that his doctor supply the DEP with an evaluation of unspecified “medical condition and behavior” issues before being allowed to return to work..

Scott has curtailed the Constitution!!!

Oh, I'm sure there are all kinds of things a government bureaucrat (or a corporate bureaucrat, for that matter) could be legitimately and constitutionally disciplined for saying. The problem here is that not that a gag order was given, it is that the order in question is so dishonest and stupid.

How about "Climate Terrorism"?

Climate disruption seems like a fair description.

How about this one: OVERPOPULATION

We'll start hearing from the Chicken Little alarmists now that Spring is getting closer and temps begin rising.

Tell us again how winter categorically disproves global warming.
