Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) said Sunday that climate change was “obviously a part of” the recent deadly flooding in Texas.

“I think climate change is obviously a part of it. These floods are happening more often in more parts of the country, and really all over the world, and so we have to face that reality and be better prepared for it and combat it,” Castro told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.”
