There’s a new kerfuffle—a new word for the Curator, and for MRW—in Florida and Washington over climate change. Miami Finds Itself Ankle-Deep in Climate Change Debate was written by Carol Davenport for the New York Times on May 7, 2014. And last Thursday Caitlin MacNeal reported for Talking Points Memo on a speech by Secretary of State John Kerry, in which he alluded to an informal ban on the use of these terms—climate change, global warming, and sustainability—by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, reported by several employees. Banner-in chief Governor Rick Scott denies the charge. (Governor Scott on the deck of the Titanic: This boat is not sinking; the water is rising!)
