Banning the Words does not make the issue go away

Subject: Governor Scott: Lift the Ban on Using The Phrases "Climate Change" and "Global Warming"

Hi,

I signed a petition to Governor Rick Scott which says:

"Governor Scott: Florida is uniquely vulnerable to sea level rise and increased inland flooding due to climate change. However, you have banned employees of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) from using the phrases "climate change" and "global warming." Florida cannot address these serious issues if its environmental protection agency is barred from even characterizing them. We urge you to lift this ban immediately so that the DEP can address this serious issue, which threatens the state.
Thank You,"

Will you sign this petition? Click here:

Thanks!

Is this what we really want from our leaders? Making a mockery of our need to protect the environment for the benefit of mankind. Shame on you Senator.
