Biden says events like Hurricane Ian end climate change debate - Axios
Quick Read
President Biden said Wednesday during a visit to survey damages from the deadly Hurricane Ian in Florida that "the one thing this has finally ended is the discussion about whether or not there's climate change, and whether we should do something about it," referencing devastating weather events in recent months.
Our thought bubble, via Axios' Andrew Freedman: Climate change is leading to wetter storms, with a rapid analysis showing that Hurricane Ian likely dropped 10% more rain on Florida due to human-induced climate change than it would have otherwise.
The widespread damage caused by Hurricane Ian has renewed discussion on building hurricane-resistant communities as well as on the difficult — and often emotional — choices people face when deciding whether to leave their homes or stay and rebuild in the face of devastating storms.
At least 80 people have died as a result of Ian.
Of note: The White House and DeSantis have appeared conciliatory as southwest Florida reels from Ian.
In addition, studies show a link between rapidly intensifying hurricanes such as Ian and global warming, due to warming sea and air temperatures, among other factors.
Driving the news: Biden met with Republican Gov.
