global warming

Saharan dust and wind shear are keeping things quieter in the Gulf, but an ocean scientist says, "it only takes one in the wrong place."

Researchers are producing new corals using the genes of those more resilient to heat. They've established two gene banks and are doing cooling experiments.

Rising temperatures, increasing nutrients, and changing currents could all be factors in the algae expansion.

The extreme heat comes as the federal government seeks to roll back vehicle pollution standards and rescind a scientific finding on the health threat from greenhouse gases.

A temperature increase of just a couple degrees can lead to higher energy bills, stunted plant growth, and more rainfall.

The deaths caused by Vibrio vulnificus bacterium were in Bay, Broward, Hillsborough, and St. Johns counties, according to the Florida Department of Health.

The researchers are looking for ways to help reefs survive global warming. The work could provide a blueprint for working across the Caribbean to share corals.

Many states accepted Inflation Reduction Act funding to address climate change, but Florida turned down the money from the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants.

The report says Florida could achieve net zero emissions by 2050 while growing the economy, creating jobs, and reducing energy and transportation costs.
