Sen. Bill Nelson bluntly assigned blame for how an October tropical storm swiftly grew into the most powerful hurricane to ever hit the Florida Panhandle: It’s global warming.
Speaking on CNN on Thursday, Nelson said Florida risks more devastation in its future if it doesn’t soon adapt to rising temperatures and sea levels.
