The Koch Bros and other fossil-fuel interests have Gov. Voldemort on a very short leash. That tether doesn't quite stretch to allow telling the truth about global climate change. Nor will he allow his little trained minions to dare speak those words which must not be spoken.

And because this fraud -- who, like Drumpf, bankrolled his way into a politically-powerful elected position, campaigning on his oh-so-wonderful business experience -- can actually stay on-script, he will be the survivor when it comes to stroking the egos of the Kochs and others. Which the Mangled-apricot Hellbeast somehow cannot manage to do.

Can't you hear him?

"Florida has had hurricanes before."

And really, there's nothing unusual about Matthew. Hurricane season doesn't end until November.

He seems to be trying to out-fear Fox News.

On edit: Would it be cynical to suggest he's worried about losing Trump supporters?

and Kicked his Ass for a half hour, he would probably blame it on the devil and not climate change.
