Amid Climate Change Woes, South Florida Official Threatens To Secede
via Amid Climate Change Woes, South Florida Official Threatens To Secede.
ByCAITLIN MACNEAL Published MARCH 26, 2015
Amid reports that Florida state officials have been banned from using the term “climate change,” one South Florida official is continuing to push for the southern part of the state to secede over the state government’s failure to recognize and address global warming.
“North Florida is completely indifferent, if not completely oblivious to it,” South Miami Vice Mayor Walter Harris told TPM about rising sea levels impacting southern Florida.
The South Miami City Commission last week passed a resolution proposed by Harris pushing officials to look into secession. The resolution asks that the “Miami-Dade County League of Cities form a committee to investigate the possibility of the creation of South Florida as the 51st state.”
The city commission passed a resolution in October proposing that South Florida secede, and Harris said that he thinks the secession movement will have a greater chance of success if the League of Cities looks into the issue.
Harris has received positive feedback and has been pushing the League of Cities to take up the matter. He told TPM that reports that Florida state officials being banned from using terms like “climate change” inspired him to propose the latest resolution at last week’s city commission meeting.
“You’ve got a governor who refuses to even use the term ‘global warming’ and ‘climate change,’ much less rising sea levels,” Harris said. “Everybody down here is stunned to hear such stuff.”
Harris said that while many citizens of southern Florida have pushed for secession before for political or financial reasons, the rising levels makes the situation urgent.
“We’re talking about survival. We’re talking about physical reality. We’re talking about a situation that is totally real,” Harris told TPM.

“Cops are just doing their job” always struck me as weird because it implies that somehow the fact that they are harassing, killing, and imprisoning people, enforcing institutional racism, and destroying communities is less morally reprehensible if they do it for money.

INDIA, CHADOORA : A Kashmiri villager walks near an injured horse close to a damaged house following landslides due to heavy rainfall in the village of Laden at Chadoora some 40kms west of Srinagar on March 30, 2015. Landslides have buried at least 15 people in Indian Kashmir as hundreds fled their homes after heavy rain triggered flooding around the mountainous region. Police and witnesses said landslides had buried at least four houses in Chadoora, the worst hit area of the Himalayan region where hundreds were killed in devastating floods last September.

“The Daily Show” has a new host: Correspondent Trevor Noah will take over for Jon Stewart – Salon.com
MONDAY, MAR 30, 2015
The South African comedian joined “The Daily Show” in December VIDEO
ERIN KEANE
After nearly two months of speculation, Comedy Central has named a new host for “The Daily Show.” The New York Times reports that freshly-minted correspondent Noah Trevor will take over one of the most influential late-night desks on TV when host Jon Stewart leaves the post (the actual hand-off date has yet to be announced).
Trevor, who spoke to the Times from Dubai, where he’s on a comedy tour, said that he didn’t quite believe the news when he learned he landed the gig. “You need a stiff drink, and then unfortunately you’re in a place where you can’t really get alcohol.”
In a statement, Stewart said he is “thrilled for the show and for Trevor”: “He’s a tremendous comic and talent that we’ve loved working with.” Mr. Stewart added that he “may rejoin as a correspondent just to be a part of it!!!”
Trevor joined “The Daily Show” in December:
