Yes, Florida has experienced deforestation, which means LESS CO2 is absorbed. Also, the US and the world has experienced deforestation as worldwide population has grown enormously in the last 15 years. The whole world is producing record temperature readings on land and ocean. The oceans have shown a dangerous increase in level in the last 5 years. Florida is very vulnerable to ALL these increases because it is basically an island surrounded by ocean.
......There is NO foreseeable, in the future, likelihood of anything changing about CO2 except that it will INCREASE. Therefore, Florida will continue to have excessively HOT summers and an INCREASED chance of large hurricanes and tornadoes. I wish it wasn't that way!
