Welcome to the official blog of Project Nero! We are a student led documentary project out
of Florida State University who hope to begin a serious discussion about
climate change in Florida. Our fortunate
proximity to the state capitol has inspired an interest in the Florida
legislature, especially relating to the exception they take to the subject of
rising sea levels and other climate change effects. A recent collaboration between the Environmental
Science & Policy program and the Media Production program has given way to
a project that we hope will bring knowledge and power to the citizens of the
Sunshine State.
As we investigate the
lack of climate change legislation in the state of Florida, climate change
doubters and deniers as well as the arguments that bind them, we hope to show
citizens that sea level rise is a problem that is upon us now, dispelling the
notion that climate change effects are decades away. Project Nero’s mission is to definitively
answer two questions; who is blocking proactive climate legislation in the
state of Florida and why? By answering
these questions, we hope to open up a new discussion, using facts instead of
stigmas, using science instead of politics and forcing the truth onto those who
are seemingly acting on their own behalf instead of for the constituents that
they were elected to represent. Also,
with this, we hope to eliminate the indifference that environmental issues are
often met with by politicians and citizens alike.
