[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TX (and the rest of the central states) is going to get hotter and hotter.  Hope their electricity grid can handle it.

I think it would be nice if addressing global warming wasn’t left to just one political party while the other fights it. [/quote]
Indeed, but most of the states in the red are red, politically, so...

DH and I have been talking about where to move to once we retire. I did, at one point, think about FL maybe NC. We wanted to be on the east coast, near a major airport, but some place warm. Given the state of those states and climate change in the next 30 years, I'm unsure now if we should move to either of those states.

FL is interesting because the locals have been fighting climate change for a while.   Their coastal areas keep getting flooded, and then of course, there is the hurricanes which are getting stronger and stronger.

So, you would think DeSantis would want to do something about climate change, but clearly, he's more interested in his short term goals in politics rather than making sure FL is ready to deal with climate change.[/quote]
Rick Scott, the current Senator, banned the words climate change and global warming while he was Governor before DeSantis.
