Washington (CNN)The heavy flooding that's overwhelmed Texas and killed more than 30 people has put Sen. Ted Cruz in a bind on climate change.

"In a time of tragedy, I think it's wrong to try to politicize a natural disaster -- and so there's plenty of time to talk about other issues," he said in response to a question on his views on climate change during a press conference on Wednesday afternoon.

"I think the focus now is on caring for those who have lost their lives and lost their homes," he said.
At least 31 people have died in Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma from the storm since this weekend, while another 11 remain missing in Texas. Cruz promised to do all he could to ensure that Texans get access to the resources they need during the recovery.
But his reluctance to answer questions on climate change mark a much more cautious approach to the question than his comparison in March of "global warming alarmists" to "flat-Earthers."
"It used to be [that] it is accepted scientific wisdom the Earth is flat, and this heretic named Galileo was branded a denier," he said in an interview with the Texas Tribune.

The Republican presidential contender has held two press conferences over the past two days to address the flooding and the government’s response. At each one, he was asked about the impact of climate change on natural disasters like the Texas flooding, and at each one, he dodged the question.That is not dodging the question, Jaffe you ignorant s—. That is the absolute correct answer. Utterly disgusting that she does indeed politicize the disaster at the expense of lives and property lost.

Oh, good freaking gravy ....
Climate changes all the time. It’s not caused by man, but by God.
Apparently 51% of the electorate, judging by who sits in the White House.
It’s raining and flooding in Texas cause God’s crying the Blue Bell Ice Cream plant had to close.
CNN viewership only goes up when flights are delayed and people are held captive in airports.

Please get our mayors name right, she is mayor Anus Porker! ;0)
because floods never happened when carbon was under 400 ppm...
They derive their righteousness through their advocacy,
so they constantly have to affirm that the thing they “care about”
is actually real.
I'm old enough to remember when news articles weren't blatent propaganda pieces, starting with a propaganda lie, lying throughout, and concluding with a propaganda lie.
I note that there is no way to comment on the article, as well, at the CNN site.
They are not interested in hearing from us.

I should have seen foolishness like this coming.
Time for CNN to go 24/7 on MH 370 again.
This must mean....CNN's global warming bus caused the Texas floods (snarking sarcasm)
It’s raining in Texas! The sky gods must be angry with us for thinking we can be free! Quick give more power to the totalitarian police state!
