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.

Do you want to put your money where your mouth is?

I took your statement on face value because Scott says some stupid
**** now and then but I have not been able to find anything about it
either.
If you have $100, I will find out from my son in law who is an
attorney for South Florida water management and Cheryl Clark who is
the manager for Estero Aquatic Preserve. Certainly if there is any
official policy, written or unwritten, they would have heard of it.
I don't know the answer but I have $100 that says this is bull****.
You might want to hedge your bet by poking around on the SFWMD or DEP
web sites and see if the offending language is there. I bet it is.

Who would have thought that Harry might actually be full of ****.

Again.

For those who are actually interested in the reality of climate change
instead of the political hyperbole, there is a great documentary on
Netflix called "Chasing Ice". It makes a compelling case that there
is a lot of glacial ice melt occurring, and there is some evidence
presented which links it to an increase in atmospheric CO2. It's not
entirely clear that all of the CO2 increase is man made but it is
certainly a strong possibility. In any case the documentary is well
made, non-hysterical, non-political, and has some great photography.

I give it 4 1/2 stars.
