Climate change might have caused Florida condo tower collapse, says Energy secretary

Climate change might have caused Florida condo tower collapse, says Energy Secretary, Jennifer Granholm and gets trolled by various social media users.

“Obviously, we don’t know fully, but we do know that the seas are rising. We know that we’re losing inches and inches of beaches, not just in Florida but all around. Michigan, where I’m from, we’ve seen the loss of beaches because the waters are rising, so this is a phenomenon that will continue,” Granholm said during an interview with CNN reporters.

“We’ll have to wait to see what the analysis is for this building, but the issue about resiliency and making sure we adapt to this changing climate, that’s going to mean levees need to be built, sea walls need to be built, infrastructure needs to be built,” Granholm said.
