Officials in Florida have reportedly banned the terms “climate change” and “global warming,” despite the disproportionate impacts of climate change in the coastal state. According to the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting, under the tenure of Republican Gov. Rick Scott, officials at the Department of Environmental Protection have been ordered not to refer to climate change or global warming in official reports or communications. ThinkProgress notes at least two other states, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, have been accused of similar bans.
