Climate Change Helped Fuel Heavy Rains that Led to Devastating Hill Country Flood
Officials are reporting more than 100 fatalities in Kerr County, including 28 children.
Climate scientists said the torrential downpours on July 4 exemplify the devastating outcomes of weather intensified by a warming atmosphere. These disasters will become more frequent as people around the world continue to burn fossil fuels and heat the planet.

'I Think Weβre Gonna Stay': Texans Hang On in Tragedy-Stricken Hill Country
The Richardsons are among the lucky in Kerr County, at the epicenter of βflash flood alley,β who narrowly survived the riverβs sudden rise.
From @candicebernd.bsky.social: County officials have continued to deflect questions at press conferences about what actions they took after NWS warnings came out when many were asleep, saying they remain focused on search and rescue operations.

Trumpβs DOGE Cuts Are a Texas-Sized Disaster
Reckless agency layoffs and the dismantling of federal relief programs could leave the Lone Star State in peril.
From July 3: Federal resources for managing climate-augmented weather disasters are being wiped out. Meanwhile, state leaders stand by while denying the seriousness of climate change as a driver of these eventsβand the threat this poses to the state economy.

Antivaxx and libertarianism are the same--they can exist only when the majority of the population buys in to what it takes to live in a society, allowing the minority to think they are outsiders thriving on their own exceptionalism.

A reminder.
Presidents often get too much credit - and blame - for what happens in the economy.
