Why would Texas have prepared for record cold and snow if they listened to the media and other global warming fanatics the last forty years?

Since 1980 Americans have heard that the Earth was warming rapidly, that the South would not have winters anymore and we would see “the end of snow.”

We were told it is the “scientific consensus” and the science was “settled.” So why the heck would politicians prepare for something when they were told by "experts" that it would never happen?

Clearly the UN, Al Gore, John Kerry, Bill Gates and all the others that push this garbage on the public, without scientific data to support it, are to blame, not the Texas politicians.

John Kerry, who flies on private jets, is out there saying there are only 9 years left to solve the problem. If we had honest reporters, instead of people pushing an agenda, they would tell him that the UN said in 1989 that we only had ten years left to solve the problem. As far as I can tell we are still having snow, the temperature is nearly the same, the coastal cities are still here, the icecaps are still here, and Manhattan and Miami are still not flooded.

Fifty years of made-up dire predictions that have been wrong and yet we are told the science is settled?

Thanks for posting the probable best question of this decade:

Since 1980 Americans have heard that the Earth was warming rapidly, that the South would not have winters anymore and we would see “the end of snow.”

We were told it is the “scientific consensus” and the science was “settled.”

So why the heck would politicians prepare for something when they were told by "experts" that it would never happen?

Climate change/global warming does not mean the end of super cold winters.

This years polar wortex was cuased by unusually warm temps in the artic.

Any farmer who has been turning soil more than 30 years can tell you the climate is rapidly changing.
The last 10 years we have been getting 3 cuttings on our hay fields. That is insane.

We were cutting hay last year into October due to above normal temps

Here’s my analysis... mankind’s activities have zero affects on the sun, moon, global and cyclical wind patterns, global rotational wobbles on its axis and sometimes rare extremes of seasonal weather changes based on geographic locations. Bottom line is be prepared best as possible for these rare extremes and adapt accordingly. The leftist climate czars and their exorbitant save the globe taxation’s are nothing but expensive and tyrannical worthless pisses into the wind. Mother Nature is way more powerful and far beyond puny humanity’s measures to control her.

No intelligent person ever claims that climate does not change.

Climate has been changing since earth was born 5 Billion years ago. During the last 5 billion years there have been vastly different climates periods on earth.

Man is too puny compared to earth to cause climate change. Astronauts circling earth can’t see any man made objects.

And earth is too puny compared to the Sun which is million times bigger and million times hotter, and has it’s own cycles between more hot and less hot.
