At this point, it’s fairly common for significant rainfall events to have attribution studies showing that they’re a result of the higher temperatures that fossil fuel burning has given us. Whether or not we end up with one for this particular event, it’s something that we know will be more common if we keep on extracting and burning.

    DeSantis is a dangerous idiot that should be removed from power.

    That’s because Florida is SO FREE that it would be ILLEGAL for Desantis to say that!

    It’s rained before

    Florida is surrounded by water

    There is no consensus

    Rainfall record is inaccurate

    Animals and Plants can adapt

    Water is good for plants

      There are always excuses when you’re motivated by the size of bribe the fossil fuels industry can pay

    Of course he does. And he also just signed a law to remove the term climate change from state law.

      It’s not about dumb. it’s that the fossil fuels industry is the biggest patron of the Republican Party, and they know who butters their toast

        Yeah there are the grifters and the grifted and I’m mostly directing my frustration toward the common Joe who believes all this.

    It’s not rain, it’s just MAGA tears that built up since Trump lost in 2020.

    DeSantis’ political base doesn’t believe in climate change, which is sort of like saying you don’t believe in gravity
