No.

But they WOULD have been prepared if they’d have listened to Joe Bastardi.

He was tweeting about the storm and the dangers it posed to the electrical grid a week before it hit.

Man made global warming is like saying an ant walking on back porch will make your house tilt backwards.

Here is our beautiful, powerful, million times bigger than earth, hot enough to melt anything on earth in a micro-second Sun:

Here is earth in size comparison-----> .

Didn’t Australia neglect to build flood control because ...global warming?

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?

[Impala64ssa]

In the mid 70’s global COOLING was the mantra. How human activity was quickly ushering in a new permanent ice age. Especially the winter of 1977 when snow was on the ground as far south as Tampa. Since then we’ve had some scorching hot summers and it became global warming. Bottom line, at any given time there’s some place where it’s colder/hotter/drier/rainier, snowier than “average”. Climate is real, but it’s G-D MADE climate change.

[setter]

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

[ryderann]

The climate has NEVER been static.

[tflabo]

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.

Great article.

[SaxxonWoods]

Sorry, this is a stupid argument.

Texas has always needed more power for it’s long hot season, so more warming expected would mean more power needed, not less.

[poinq]

Texas has an abundance of natural gas. They need natural gas electric plants next to pipelines so they can turn them up in situations like this. In Texas, heat is electric, just like air conditioners. Gas powered electric would solve the problem just like it does up north.

[aquila48]

The end of snow and ice decree has been violated. Which science denier is responsible for such a breach?

[pas]

Because the state is run by republicans who should have known better.

[attiladhun2]

Remember folks, the Arctic Ocean is going to be free of ice, or was already supposed to be free of ice, or something.

[nascarnation]

Anybody who reads meteorologist Joe Bastardi on Tweater knew this was gonna be big trouble. He said 2 days before the storm hit it was similar impact to a Cat 4 hurricane. Smart guy. It’s all in his feed it anybody wants to go back and look.
