Climate emergency was already a hot-button political issue in Florida long before devastating back-to-back hurricanes named Helene and Milton barreled into the state in recent weeks .

Now, as weary Floridians head for the polls next month , there is evidence that the twin disasters are fueling something of a backlash.

Young and first -time voters have been registering and voting early in unprecedented numbers.

Ben Groenevelt relocated to south Florida from Wisconsin with his family in 2009 and has become increasingly concerned by changes to the environment.

His middle daughter of three , Whitney , has just turned 18 and will be voting for the first time.

D'Onofrio said it would be younger voters who will drive a generational change in climate politics.
