I can not believe it gets so cold, that people are dying in Florida because of the cold. This first link is from 1999 but I include a second link showing a man freezing to death in 2020!
Can we please stop fighting climate change and allow it to get Warmer so these needless deaths stop.
Cold Weather Hazards
Hypothermia is blamed in man's death on lake
A Winter Park man found dead in a small boat on a Central Florida lake probably died of hypothermia, officials said.

This is DISHONEST Anecdotal Garbage and DOES NOT EVEN Deal with whether there is "Florida Warming" (much less "cooling") since ie, "1979," Nor Global Warming (which there is)
In fact, Florida has gotten WARMER since 1970
You DISHONEST little POS!
Tampa-area temperature increased by 3.4 degrees since first Earth Day
Rising temperatures have corresponded with a 30% increase in heat-trapping carbon dioxide since Earth Day 1970, according to Climate Central.TAMPA, Fla. — It's getting warmer: The Tampa Bay area's average Temperature has INCREASED by 3.4 Degrees since the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970.
Data examined by researchers at Climate Central shows there has been Widespread Warming across the U.S. in the past 52 years. The nonprofit found the U.S. is 2.6 degrees Warmer today than it was in 1970.
And in Florida, the State's average temperature has Climbed 2.5 degrees.
Earth Day emerged amid growing concerns about America's air and water quality. Back then, according to the Earth Day Network, protests helped lead to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and a slate of environmental laws in the years thereafter.
Today, Earth Day provides an opportunity to acknowledge the effects of climate change on the planet and what solutions are necessary. Life will change — and already has in some aspects — given rising sea levels, stronger and more frequent severe weather, and even bigger wildfires.
Since the first Earth Day, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by about 30 percent, according to Climate Central. Any increase in CO2 — a heat-trapping chemical compound — leads to a rise in temperature.
Many of Florida's warmest years have occurred in the past decade.
"Warming isn't exclusive to Tampa, but almost everywhere in the Tampa Bay region has seen at least a little bit of warming over the last 50 years," 10 Tampa Bay meteorologist Grant Gilmore said. "This year is no different. So far, most locations across the Florida Peninsula are experiencing their Top 10 warmest years on record.
"Tampa itself is having its second warmest year on record so far."
