Biden’s Energy Secty suggesting that Climate Change could have played role in Condo collapse does NOT go over well

by The Right Scoop

Both CNN and Biden’s Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm suggest Climate Change could have played a role in the devastating collapse of the Condo at Miami Beach.

 
Here’s more from Fox News:

At least 11 people were killed and over 150 are missing in the aftermath of the collapse of the Surfside beachfront condo. Recent reports have revealed there were warning signs before the building fell as engineers reported several issues with the structure, but a local building official told board members that the building was in “very good shape.” Despite the new intel, CNN asked Granholm what role a changing climate could have had on the destruction.

“Given what we know about the changing climate, given that you’ve seen an increase in so called extraordinary tides, and the impact that that can have in areas like south Florida, do you think that climate would have played a role in that building’s collapse?” anchor Erica Hill asked. The segment was accompanied by the chyron, “Could Climate Crisis Have Contributed to Building Collapse?”

“Well, obviously we don’t know fully,” Granholm replied.

“We know that we’re losing inches and inches of beach – not just in Florida, but all around,” Granholm said.

The secretary said she needed to wait to see the analysis of the current investigation into the building collapse, but said that we should to “adapt” to and “protect ourselves” from the consequences of a changing climate. One possible solution, she suggested, was to pass President Biden’s infrastructure bills.

This is so stupid it’s almost comical. Granholm should have responded by refuting even the suggestion that Climate Change had anything to do with this, because not only is there zero evidence of this, but there’s much more compelling evidence that it had to do with a faulty structure. As we reported a few days ago, the building was sinking even in the 90s.

As you can imagine, this was heartily mocked on social media:
