Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesTALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Sierra Club Florida Chapter Director Frank Jackalone warned Friday that time is running short as the state faces the consequences of climate change. The Sierra Club has been a fierce critic of the toll-road projects, which were a priority of Senate President Bill Galvano, R-Bradenton, during the 2019 session. Jackalone praised lawmakers for being more open to talk about climate change than in the past. Jackalone warned that by failing to adequately address climate change, money going into Everglades restoration will be wasted. "We're seeing waters rising to the point where the southern tip of the Everglades (is already) being threatened sea level rise," Jackalone said.
