DeSantis Calls Blaming Climate Change for Idalia a “Falsehood”
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis denies that climate change is to blame for the devastation caused by Hurricane Idalia. He argues that hurricanes are not a new phenomenon and that politicizing natural disasters is wrong. DeSantis cites historical examples of powerful storms in Florida to support his argument. He declined to join President Joe Biden during his visit to the state and suggested that Biden’s presence could hinder disaster response efforts.
