Everyone who supported this bill is a climate criminal and should have a punishment proportional to poisoning every living person on the planet.
party of small government
Small 'brained' government
No no, see it can be big as long as it works for the corporations, or, uh, we mean the people. It can be big as long as it works for the people. Wait no, that's not right either.
when they ask for small government, they do not mean lowering the scope of the government functions, but having less people who have more concentrated powers, and removing checks and balances.
Small oppressive sensitive grifting fascist wasteful and willfully ignorant government.

We didn't know it was a documentary about Republicans back then.
how can we drive up property values
sink half of our state beneath the waves
brilliant
I have no idea why their property is worth anything. Well I do, ignorant boomers. That market will someday crash though, as the sea retakes everything and the majority of younger folks have no interest in moving there.
Disneyland will become the new Atlantis
Disneyland is in California.
Disneyworld being in the middle of the state will then just be a little closer to the beach spiking property values in Orlando
Disneylantis?
“We’re gonna need you to burn at least 500lbs of tires for every tree planted.”
Let's go 'net-negative' policies
I didn't think they'd be that dumb and leave a loophole for net-negative policies, but holy shit:
"Net zero policy" means any policy, program, or initiative designed to achieve a balance between total amount of greenhouse gas emitted into the atmosphere with an equal amount removed from the atmosphere.
It literally is net-zero. Removing more CO2 than you emit is absolutely allowed.
Or, let's match 99% of emissions lolllll
I'm guessing DeSantis it's not a fan of king crab.
So... A "small" government is acting like a big brother...
Childish fucktards
Not even sure if this is legally enforceable past being a guideline.
Well, a Republican is doing it, so I’m sure our wise and beneficent Supreme Court will have no problem finding it enforceable
Even right-wingers in the UK aren't this blasé about it. Murica is a very weird place where folk don't seem to get punished electorally for being an asshole.

MAGA hates Meatball
I'd like DeSantis to study this whole situation more. Perhaps putting him in the path of a hurricane would give him a more informed perspective.
In the path of something, maybe smaller and faster than a hurricane.
So they can still target .00001 emissions, or net negative emissions. I suppose it's fitting to get a nothing burger on nottheonion.
Not really.
"The bill also prohibits governmental entities from implementing, administering, or enforcing any program or joining any organization that has a policy of establishing limits on greenhouse gas emissions or requiring or incentivizing participation in an emissions trading program."
There's definitely language in the bill to cut off that loophole
I look forward to scuba diving in the neo-Atlantis amusement park that was the former state of Florida.
