Every Thursday, climate experts join Kerri Miller and Meteorologist Paul Huttner to talk about the latest research on our changing climate and the consequences we're seeing here in Minnesota and worldwide.

This week, they talked to an investigative journalist who revealed that employees at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection have been told not to use the terms "climate change" or "global warming" even though the state is particularly threatened by rising sea levels.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott, an open skeptic of climate change, has denied that employees are being told not to use those words.
