Rising humid heat along the Gulf is partially thanks to record ocean temps (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You may have noticed it's been more humid than usual lately. Climate scientists say it's connected to record-breaking warmth in the Gulf, which is exacerbated by human-caused climate change. It's still summer in Florida, so we expect it to be hot and humid. But Climate Central scientist Zack Labe said it's going feel more humid in the coming days because of winds blowing those warm water temperatures onshore. "If you average the sea surface temperature along the Gulf of Mexico, it's actually the
Florida regulators will decide if Duke Energy's data center tariff protects residents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Florida utility regulators will determine if Duke Energy Florida's proposal to make data centers pay for their own high usage and necessary upgrades goes far enough. Duke tried to keep consumer advocates out of the Tuesday hearing, but the group Florida Rising was officially deemed eligible to participate. What's being debated at a Florida Public Service Commission hearing Tuesday is whether Duke Energy's plan protects residents from footing the energy bill for hyperscale data centers. Earthjust
How Florida is challenging climate change in textbooks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Had Florida's high school marine biology students read the original draft of their textbook, they would have learned about research that found climate change is killing at least 150,000 people per year, and another 1 degree Celsius of warming would double that. Instead, they learned "human health will also be affected by the increase in CO2 and another 1 degree Celsius will further increase the impact." In another spot in McGraw Hill's Marine Science book, "climate change" was altered to "change
Despite warm waters in the Gulf, other phenomena are suppressing tropical activity (opens the original)

Nick Shay, a professor of ocean sciences at the University of Miami, said El Niño is also bringing increased wind shear into the atmosphere, which weakens storms, as it did for Tropical Storm Bertha last week. "M
Florida's coral researchers are adapting to extreme heat amid El Niño warming (opens the original)
Read excerpt
University of Miami Rosenstiel School scientists are pulling bubble-wrapped Elkhorn coral from a large cooler. They're yellow-brown with flat, antler-like arms. "Here's another beautiful one right here," one scientist said unwrapping one of the branching stony corals. They're functionally extinct in Florida's wild barrier reef, along with staghorn coral, thanks to ocean temperatures reaching up to 100 degrees three years ago. "We're in the midst of a thermal rescue operation," said Cameron McMat
