Governors in several Republican-led states, including Florida's Ron DeSantis, are focusing on the effects rather than the causes of climate change
MIAMI—Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis visited the coastal city of Oldsmar recently to unveil projects including sea walls and drainage systems intended to address flooding. The state is seeing rising sea levels, and Florida’s environmental and economic successes are intertwined, Mr. DeSantis and other speakers said.

He focused on responding to the effects of a warming climate.
