Joe Biden: Families Who Lost Loved Ones in Condo Collapse Concerned About Global Warming
Charlie Spiering 1 Jul 2021
President Joe Biden said Thursday the families who lost their loved ones in the Surfside condo collapse in Miami told him about their concerns about global warming.
“Interesting to me. I didn’t raise it. How many of the survivors — How many of the families talked about the impact of global warming,” Biden told reporters after privately visiting with the family members.
Biden traveled to Miami on Thursday to visit with the families and show support for the rescue operation.
“They didn’t know exactly, but they talked about sea levels rising and about how there were and the combination of that and the concern about incoming tropical storms,” he added.
Biden said it remained unclear why the building collapsed but raised concerns about the sea levels rising and also nearby construction in the area.
“I don’t think there is at this point any definitive judgment as to why it collapsed and what can be done to prevent it from happening,” he said.
Biden said that families were “realistic” about the fate of their loved ones.
“The families are very realistic,” Biden said, noting that “cement upon cement upon cement” collapsed on people living in the condo homes.
The death toll at the condo site is at 18 with 145 people still missing.
