Melting Ron DeSantis statue unveiled to call out his inaction on climate crisis

A life-sized statue of Florida governor Ron DeSantis was unveiled in Tallahassee as a symbolic protest against his inaction on the climate crisis. Cast from solid gallium, the silvery structure melted at 85.6F, revealing a skull beneath the governor's face. The demonstration targets DeSantis's consistent opposition to legislation curbing planet-heating emissions, which he has labelled a radical climate agenda. The installation serves to highlight climate change denial through the metal's low melting point during summertime temperatures.
