That's a shame. I used to think of Florida as kind of an oasis in the desert. And same is true of Arizona. AZ used to be a great compliment to California next door. Now they're as if Louisiana floated west.
Honest answer is that believing in man made climate change challenges the notion that only God could create and effect the Earth on such a massive scale. Man made climate change is one more piece of evidence that their fairy tales are just that, stories made up to explain things the people of the time couldn't otherwise explain.
That's because, and as a fellow Alabamian I know this, you likely never visited interior Florida, but rather the coastal, touristy parts. Travel 15-20 miles inland and Florida is as Alabama as Alabama. Has been for most of my memory.
If Rick Scott keeps going like this, one day he may be the governor of the world's largest coral reef. No strike that, climate change is also acidifying the sea which kills coral. So I guess it will be the world's wettest garbage dump.

They really should not be surprised when they ask for a life preserver as they float toward the Atlantic and none of us deign to toss them one.
Hey! Is I.P. Freely here?
My thought precisely!
Global Climate Ghey
How about "weather pattern maladjustment?" Makes it sound far more short term.
"Climate glug glug glug"
I like to think of it as dry land redeployment, not retreat.
Next up: torture.
The trouble is, lunatics like Cruz and Scott Walker and Rick Scott actually believe the shit that comes out of their mouths.
Or green slime?

That one goes far beyond Florida unfortunately.
