It is stories like this that make me proud to be a Floridian. But I am sure at this moment Al Gore is firing up that jet and burning thousands of gallons of environmentally unfriendly fuel to straighten out us sun drenched citizens.



Kristina Trotta, another former DEP employee who worked in Miami, said her supervisor told her not to use the terms “climate change” and “global warming” in a 2014 staff meeting. “We were told that we were not allowed to discuss anything that was not a true fact,” she said

Banning terms is like banning speech, government should not be dictating what can and cannot be said just because they do not agree with it.

If you work for the government or someone else they can ban whatever words they choose while on the job. Otherwise start your own business.
 
Pretty ignorant, honestly. Climate change happens whether it is driven by humans or simply by the force of the Earth. I don't see why banning the term will help, especially when it hasn't been proven as a scientific fact that global warming/climate change does not exist. To this day, it is merely speculation and an unproven theory by some crock pots too uneducated to realize the planet has gone through some SERIOUS changes in its climate for billions of years. That's like saying the sun revolves around the earth, and that the earth is flat.

It is pretty smart because the word climate change with todays radicals is not based on the natural cycle of the planet but instead the wacky ideas we here from the like of Ale Gore and loons.

Al Gore isn't a scientist. I trust the people who actually take the time to study the climate, who are out there in nature and make observations, take down data and calculate it, who make the effort to analyze how the earth is changing in comparison to certain times of our history on this planet, and those who make logical, scientific explanations as opposed to speculations based of what the professionals are saying.
 
lol
i'm with seasidemike
they shouldn't be banning terms
especially "climate change" and "global warming"

Like the scientists who were trading emails admitting of faking the global warming data for years.

I'd like to see all of those emails and by how many people were actually talking about it being fake.  What is their credibility?  Evidence, please.  And not from one of those crack pot conspiracy theorist, right-winged, republican websites you like to conjure up.  I prefer as unbiased as possible.
 
All those thousands of emails are online for everyone to see. I used to have the link saved reading many of them. Just google it and you can find them all there for reading.

and were probably paid to say whatever they said, right? ;)

oh no? why not? have proof?

exactly...

climate change is real and calling people loons because they believe it to be real is like calling everyone that disagrees with you a loon, which is typical of you, yes? ;)

From reading them they did it because they thought the lie was worth it for the "overall good".

oh no? why not? have proof?

Have no idea what this means?

exactly...


Again?

They are loons that have made the worlds biggest bowl of kool aid. And man made global warming is bunk.

we're not talking about man-made global warming here...

we're talking about what the earth does, it's a fact that earth is heating and not cooling...  it's also a fact that the sea level is rising, i wonder why that's happening? ;)

the government trying to force people not to believe in something is something i thought you'd be against... what if the government started to ban other "terms"?

and it seems like you're foolishly accepting their "reasons" why they did or said what they did and say, or did they even give a reason? and if they did give a reason, why would you believe them after knowing they lied already? wait, maybe because it goes along with your belief system?

either way it really doesn't matter because there's way too many respectable people in that field that points out that global warming is in fact happening...

who are you to tell anyone that believes in global warming that they're a loon when you don't even know yourself...

I am sticking with the term the environmental loons started with.

we're talking about what the earth does, it's a fact that earth is heating and not cooling...  it's also a fact that the sea level is rising, i wonder why that's happening? ;)


You and I may be talking about what the earth naturally does but that was not the purpose for the creation of the term climate change. The term was meant for it political purpose and nothing else.

the government trying to force people not to believe in something is something i thought you'd be against... what if the government started to ban other "terms"?


The Florida government smartly not allowing a fake term to be involved in science.

and it seems like you're foolishly accepting their "reasons" why they did or said what they did and say, or did they even give a reason? and if they did give a reason, why would you believe them after knowing they lied already? wait, maybe because it goes along with your belief system?

I am excepting Florida's reasons and there was no lie.

either way it really doesn't matter because there's way too many respectable people in that field that points out that global warming is in fact happening...

The only thing it has been pointing to is a bunch of lies and corrupt people putting agendas over science.

who are you to tell anyone that believes in global warming that they're a loon when you don't even know yourself...

Let me see...........Yup they are loons.
