My favorite ex-governor of my favorite blue state, Jennifer Granholm ( Canadian native btw) and current Secretary of Energy comments today on the Surfside disaster:
CNN and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm were ripped by viewers on Tuesday for suggesting that climate change could have been a factor in the tragic building collapse in Surfside, Florida.
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?”
Surely, she has learned Rahm Emanuel’s lesson well: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”
