Florida is the fifth-largest
producer of greenhouse gases among the 50 U.S. states. This may coincide
with the fact that Florida is the fourth most populous state in the
United States.
The climate of Florida is tempered somewhat by its proximity to water. Most of the state has a
humid subtropical climate, with the extreme tip of Florida and especially the Florida Keys bordering on a true tropical climate. Cold
fronts can occasionally bring high winds and cool to cold temperatures to the entire state during late fall and winter. |

Florida's economy relies heavily
on tourism. About 60 million visitors visit the state every year. Warm
weather and hundreds of miles of beach attract vacationers from around
the world. The Walt Disney World Resort—with four theme parks and more
than twenty hotels, plus countless water parks, shopping centers, and
other facilities—located in Lake Buena Vista, drives the economy of
Central Florida, along with more recent entries into the theme-park
arena, such as the Universal Orlando Resort. Sales- and tourist-tax
revenue allows the state to remain one of the few not to levy a personal
income tax. Other major industries include citrus fruit and juice
production, banking, and phosphate mining within the Bone Valley region.
With the arrival of the space program at Kennedy Space Center in the
1960s, Florida has attracted a large number of aerospace and military
industries. The state did not have any state minimum wage laws until
November 2, 2004, when voters passed a constitutional amendment
establishing one and mandating that it be adjusted for inflation every
six months. |
