IT'S SUMMER, NITWITS! NPR Blames ‘Climate Change’ for Texas Floods and ‘Rainstorms’
NewsBusters ^ | 7/18/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

The cuts to National Public Radio’s taxpayer funding have definitely been a long time coming. The leftist outlet is blaming climate change (there’s a surprise) for — wait for it — a lot of rain, in summertime!

“Climate change is fueling brutal rainstorms. Here's how to stay safe,” read the ridiculous headline for NPR’s July 15 Consider This podcast by All Things Considered co-host Juana Summers (ironic) and Climate Desk correspondent Michael Copley, both of whom are not scientists.

Of course, Summers exploited the Texas flood disasters as a springboard to blame rainfall and recent flooding writ large in the U.S. as being a byproduct of the left’s eternal boogeyman: climate change. “So why is climate change expected to make extreme rainstorms like the ones we've seen this month more common,” Summers teased. “To dig into that question and what people can do to prepare, I spoke with Michael Copley from NPR's climate desk.”

Climate Depot Founder Marc Morano blasted NPR's eco-fanaticism in comments to MRC Business. "Listening to or reading climate 'news' from NPR was a throwback experience to the days when the U.S. actually funded such tripe. Oh, wait! We still do," Morano rebuked. "But as of July 17, it looks like the days of U.S. taxpayers footing the bill for utter climate garbage are severely numbered."

Yes the climate changes.

Usually about four times a year.

Which is why NPR is heading for the garbage dump of history, along with PBS.

And then we have the chem-trails conspiracy people who don't know how clouds are formed.

Climate change is here have no doubt
Too much rain too much drought
Run in circles scream and shout

It’ll cook your brain and freeze your feet
Too much rain too much heat

Snow coming soon no relief in sight
Tornados and floods you better run for your life

Climate change is here better hide in fear.
They need more money or it gets severe

Hurricanes on the way they’re comin soon
You’re all going to die in the next typhoon

Too much rain too much drought
Run in circles scream and shout

“Climate Desk Correspondent”? Must be a highly qualified meteorologist...oh, wait, no. He’s a journalist. Which is even better because journalists know everything, just like actors and rock stars.

They have a program called All Things Considered, that considers very few things.

Actually, the climate does not change.

The change of seasons is part of the climate zone we are in.

Yeah, we’ve never had rain on Summer afternoons day after day before... They’ll be saying the same thing next Summer when there’s a drought for a few weeks. Meantime, where are the killer hurricanes this year because of climate change?

Weather casters have been screaming that the current heat wave of the next month is “record breaking”. So far it is not and with temperatures forecast to be in the high 90s that will not even be close to record breaking. Temperature has to get up around 115 to be record breaking for around here in Western Arkansas. That was the brutal summer of 2011, August 3, 2011 to be exact, the summer ancient oak trees dried up and died and the ground cracked open all the way down to bedrock.

It seems like there should be some not so minor consequence to lying and sensationalism.
