Texas Soaked, Bloomberg Smoked? Lefty Billionaire Blames ‘Climate Denialism’ for Floods
NewsBusters ^ | 07/08/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

Lefty billionaire Michael Bloomberg is back in the spotlight exploiting the disastrous Texas floods to blow a gasket over arguably his most obsessive political issue — you guessed it — climate change.

The anti-American energy media mogul belched out a new op-ed on Bloomberg Opinion pontificating how “The Texas Floods Were Made Worse by Climate Denialism.” No, he wasn’t kidding.

Bloomberg railed about how “[t]he scientific evidence is clear that the more frequent extreme weather we are experiencing is being driven by climate change — and that it’s only going to get worse.” Of course the Texas floods which killed over 100 people couldn’t just be the result of a natural disaster without shoe-horning climate politics into it, right?

But Bloomberg channeled his dubious eco-scare porn to instigate political backlash against Texas’s elected leaders: “[Texas elected officials] owe [the victims’ families] a sincere commitment to righting their deadly wrong, by tackling the problem they’ve turned their backs on for too long: climate change.”

JunkScience.com founder Steve Milloy blasted Bloomberg for his outrageously tone-deaf political hot take in comments to MRC Business. “It's sad to see radical climate activists like Michael Bloomberg trying to exploit the tragic Texas flooding to advance its political agenda.” As Milloy analyzed, “Just for the record: This area of Texas is known for flash floods, extreme rainfall is not correlated with emissions and there hasn't even been any ‘global warming’ over the past five days.”

But Bloomberg clearly saw an opportunity to use the deaths of Texans to drag the climate boogeyman back into the national conversation. “The refusal to recognize that climate change carries a death penalty is sending innocent people, including far too many children, to early graves,” he spewed.

50 years ago last month Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania was wiped out by Hurricane Agnes’s.

It hasn’t been flooded since.

Proof that the climate is getting better.
Thank you, Donald Trump.

Does anybody remember both Biden and general Millie saying the main mission of the military was to fight climate change? I think the Biden Administration went all in on weather modification

It would certainly be unfortunate for Mini Mike Bloomberg if some hacker(s) were able to figure out how to disappear his fortune.

So, what then caused the Big Thompson flood of 1976? It was during THE COMING ICE AGE hoax.

What we call Man’s power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.

Why do the thrill-seeking "journalists" think they can earn their keep by eliciting some kind of opinion or reaction out of people that are famous, that they want to keep in their "news" so they have something to write/video show about?

(Well, I guess that I answered my own rhetorical question. Duh.)
