A TV meteorologist condemned the Florida governor Ron DeSantis's so-called "don't say climate change" law on air and urged viewers to vote.

MacLaughin condemned DeSantis's position on the matter, saying that it came "in spite of the fact that the state of Florida over the last couple of years has seen record heat, record flooding, record rain, record insurance rates, and the corals are dying all around the state".

He said: "The entire world is looking to Florida to lead in climate change, and our government is saying that climate change is no longer the priority it once was.

"Please keep in mind the most powerful climate change solution is the one you already have in the palm of your hands - the right to vote. And we will never tell you who to vote for, but we will tell you this: we implore you to please do your research and know that there are candidates that believe in climate change and that there are solutions. And there are candidates that don't."

McLaughlin delivered his comments after DeSantis recently signed several bills the governor claimed sought to "restore sanity in our approach to energy and rejecting the agenda of the radical green zealots".

"Radical green zealots want to impose their climate agenda on people through restrictions, regulations and taxes," a notice posted by DeSantis said.

In addition to prohibiting windfarms offshore and near coastlines, the bill prioritizes the expansion of natural gas and bolsters protections against gas appliance bans and repeals climate policies enacted during Barack Obama's presidency.
