Morales also appeared on CNN’s Erin Burnett Outfront to speak about his emotional reaction. “It was just a mixture of empathy for those people [in Florida], as well as the angst of increasingly frequent and more severe extreme weather events,” he told Burnett. “And the frustration of being a climate change communicator for over 20 years and realizing this is happening—and we knew it was coming.”
“It has changed me.”
