During a recent press conference, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis addressed questions regarding Hurricane Milton and its potential link to climate change. When asked about the impact of 'global warming' on the hurricane's intensity, DeSantis emphasized the importance of putting the situation into perspective.
DeSantis disputed the notion that Hurricane Milton was more severe than previous hurricanes, pointing out that tornadoes have been a part of human history for centuries. He highlighted that Milton had a barometric pressure of approximately 950 millibars upon landfall, noting that there have been 27 hurricanes with lower barometric pressure since 1851.
