Bill To End 'ghost Teaching' Passes Key State Senate Committee

Florida’s population is booming. Climate change is making temperatures and sea levels rise. And the state is also trying to protect animals and open land with the Florida Wildlife Corridor. As the state grows hotter and more crowded in the future, it looks like a three-way collision. But according to a new report by scientists from four major Florida universities, the wildlife corridor — if completed — will not only allow wildlife to survive in the coming decades, it will make climate change less destructive to humans.
