If Florida censors climate change talk, it's not alone

http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2015/0310/If-Florida-censors-climate-change-talk-it-s-not-alone

"Florida, one of the states most susceptible to the effects of climate change and sea-level rise, verbally banned state environmental officials from using the term "climate change," an investigation revealed. But the Sunshine State isn't the only U.S. state that has attempted to "outlaw" climate science.

North Carolina, Louisiana and Tennessee have all passed laws that attempt to cast doubt on established climate science in boardrooms and classrooms."
