Recently you made a big deal about Governor Rick Scott's banning of the
term "global warming" and "sea rise" in Florida's Department of
Environmental Protection.

Are you really sure about this or were you simply repeating the liberal
line?

Scott and his administration officials have denied any of this.

Those making the accusations say it was "verbal".

I was just reading about this. Apparently some guy who is the president
of the Florida Audubon Society noticed that a Powerpoint presentation
made no reference to terms like "global warming". He asked why and was
told "we aren't allowed to use that term" and he *assumed* it came from
the "top" (meaning Rick Scott) because Scott has challenged some of the
global warming doomsayers in the past.

Sounds to me like a simple, non-official statement by some low level
tree hugger set off a firestorm of liberal reaction.

Stupid.


Here's another bit:

"The department says there is no policy on the use of the terms"
