CO2-phobic Florida Gov. Crist jets to the U.K., then kicks off a campaign to encourage more Brits to take fossil-fueled trips to Florida

Florida Governor Talks Climate With Prince of Wales
In terms of tourism, the United Kingdom is Florida's top overseas tourism market, with 1.34 million United Kingdom arrivals for 2006. On average, travelers from the UK spend nearly two weeks in Florida, with 72.5 percent traveling to Orlando, 15.3 percent to Miami and 12.5 percent to the Tampa/St. Petersburg area.

During the remainder of the United Kingdom portion of the Florida trade trip, the governor will meet with Environment Minister Phil Woolas and participate in a Visit Florida marketing campaign kick-off.
