DeSantis Will Do Nothing to Support Communities Imacted by Rising Sea Levels

At Wednesday’s Republican gubernatorial primary debate, Ron Desantis promised that if elected governor, state government would do nothing to address rising sea levels hurting communities across Florida. During a discussion about environmental issues, DeSantis said that the Democratic candidates think “they can stop the sea levels from rising. Not going to happen from Tallahassee.”

DeSantis made clear that, like Rick Scott, his administration would do nothing to combat climate change and keep Florida communities from going underwater.
