Former Florida Governor and Senator Bob Graham came by CL's offices yesterday to engage in a discussion about public policy issues, all part of his whirlwind day in Tampa promoting his just published novel, Keys to the Kingdom.
We'll run some excerpts in our publication next week, but we wanted to post at least one excerpt tonight, that being on climate change.
The day after it was reported that the Tampa Bay area just endured its second hottest spring in its history, CL asked Graham was he concerned about the fact that global warming/climate change, call it what you will, was getting worse, and nobody in power in either in Florida or in Washington is doing anything about it.
He said there weren't many subjects that pop up in Google when you type the words "Florida" and "Bangladesh", but one was on looking at the deleterious results of a three meter rise in the oceans due to climate change.
