Following is a statement from U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) on the president’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement:
“This is a huge mistake. Sea-level rise caused by the Earth heating up is a real threat to Florida. If the U.S. isn’t going to do its part to combat climate change, then the rest of the world won’t do theirs and millions of Floridians living along the coast will be at risk.”
