As of November 20, a Google search for Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum’s website turned up this collection of images, with “Thank you, Florida” prominently shown. But Gillum, who campaigned heavily on climate change’s threats to Florida and was backed by billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer, lost to Republican Ron DeSantis, who refused to climb on the global warming bandwagon.
Voters were not kind to climate-change campaigners in the midterm elections November 6. Basic summary:
- The two highest-profile climate initiatives failed.
- Republicans in Congress’s “Climate Solutions Caucus” suffered defeats: of 43 members, 11 lost (including Republican caucus leader Carlos Curbelo), 3 appear likely to lose in races not yet called, 1 lost in a primary earlier, and 7 incumbents chose not to run when they saw the handwriting on the wall.
- Environmentalist billionaire Tom Steyer’s favorite candidate, Andrew Gillum, lost his bid for governor of Florida after making climate change alarmism a major part of his campaign.
