Come on. Be fair. I'm not a huge DeSantis fan, but if he pulls off a miracle and is the GOP nominee this year, I will vote for him.
But environment and weather are two separate things. He didn't say we have to control the weather. But the government can intervene and protect air, water, soil quality that some human activity can mess up. In that regard you won't find a more passionate environmentalist than I am. And nobody who knows me at all would accuse me of being leftist in anything.
I am very big on clean air, water, soil quality as well as being smart about protecting the living things on Earth and its aesthetic beauty. I wouldn't vote for a candidate who didn't think that important.
P.S. America enjoyed its cleanest air, water, soil ever under Trump.
