Puddin' Fingers denies that climate change is making hurricanes more powerful

Florida governor Ron DeSantis denied that the climate crisis is making hurricanes more powerful, contrary to the opinion of scientists.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday in the wake of Hurricanes Milton and Helene, DeSantis said there was a “precedent” for the immense destruction.

Both Milton and Helene hit the Sunshine State within two weeks of each other, and have caused historic flooding and devastating destruction. The combined death toll across Florida and other states is approximately 250.

At least 20 tornadoes have been recorded in Florida as Milton surged through the state.
