‘Going through hell’: Biden visits Florida condo collapse, families

SURFSIDE, Fla. — President Biden on Thursday said that family members of people who died or are missing in the collapse of a condo building in Surfside, Florida, told him that global warming might be responsible.

“Interesting to me — I didn’t raise it — but how many of the survivors and how many families talked about the impact of global warming,” Biden said after spending nearly three hours with the relatives of people who died or are missing. “They didn’t know exactly, but they talked about sea levels rising and about how — and the combination of that and the concern about incoming tropical storms,” he said.
