A Florida state employee has been suspended from work, given a letter of reprimand, and ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation after uttering the words “climate change” at a coastal management meeting on March 9, according to a Florida blogger. Republican Gov. Rick Scott has banned the phrase from his state.

Update: Florida residents may lose their eligibility for federal disaster relief because of their obstinate governor’s opposition to planning for climate change.
Here’s an idea for a bumper sticker: “Climate change is real no matter what your stupid governor believes.”
