Florida Split Into Two States?

   As I mentioned in class. their are some people in Florida who want the state cut in two, with the new Northern boundary set at the northern boundary of my old county, Brevard.  The reasons for the split aren't the obvious ones. It is actually much less complicated than the differences between demographics. In spite of what I was assuming the real reason that the two congress men who pushed the bill it is quite different indeed. The two people seem to think that the current state of Florida is not doing enough about climate change and they are of the belief that the entirety of south Florida will be underwater, sooner rather than later, and the current state is not doing enough to prepare. They say the state has no plan now or for the foreseeable future and that is why they want the split. They have the most to lose after all.  Huh, super interesting  but I don't see it happening. People in California have been trying to tear the state apart almost as long as it has been one; and you see how that has worked out for them. You can access the article here: Florida
