Biden contradicts his own top hurricane expert to push climate agenda
Fox News
President Joe Biden blamed Hurricane Ian, the recent storm that pummeled Florida, on human-linked global warming during a speech about government relief efforts.
Biden visited Fort Myers alongside Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., and Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Rick Scott, R-Fla., to survey Hurricane Ian's damage and reaffirm the federal government's commitment to assist with the state's recovery efforts. Last week, the storm pummeled Florida's west coast, causing more than 100 deaths and over a million residents to lose power. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
As the storm struck Florida, though, several Democrats, left-wing commentators and media outlets claimed its existence and intensity was a result of carbon emissions and global warming. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., even appeared to suggest that voting for Democrats would help avoid future hurricanes.
