White House climate czar to AP: Texas storm ‘a wake-up call’
The Associated Press ^ | February 27, 2021 | By MATTHEW DALY

WASHINGTON - The deadly winter storm that caused widespread power outages in Texas and other states is a “wake-up call” for the United States to build energy systems and other infrastructure that are more reliable and resilient in the face of extreme-weather events linked to climate change, President Joe Biden’s national climate adviser says.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Gina McCarthy said Friday that the storm that devastated Texas and other states “is not going to be as unusual as people had hoped. It is going to happen, and we need to be as resilient and working together as much as possible. We need systems of energy that are reliable and resilient as well.″

McCarthy said the scientific evidence is clear that more frequent and more dangerous storms are likely, “and if we really care about keeping our people working and keeping our kids healthy and giving them a future we’re proud of, then we’re not going to ignore these wake-up calls. We’re going to take action.″

McCarthy said Biden is committed to an all-of-government response to climate change, which she said was “part and parcel of a strategy to strengthen our economy and grow jobs” amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Yes, You are correct. Pure ComDem Propaganda.

The disaster in Texas related to the Big Freeze was caused by Greenie Idiots running ERCOT. And the EPA denying permission to run power plants at 100% of capacity.

The damage to property and lives has been huge. Largely because of bureaucraps.

There is a much simpler way to say it...

More control! More taxes!

There. Wasn’t that easy?

Yeh....That's what they said after Katrina....

The last time a storm like this happened was 132 years ago. People were cooking with wood stoves.

You need all sources to survive.

Bs. It was requested 2 days before the storm hit by TEXAS to the cesspool in DC if Texas could fire up ng and coal fired power plants to full capacity. Ya see, this worthless federal government limits us so that we do not break their sacred EPA emission limits.

We were DENIED

This, mother Effin may I crap, from the overlords in DC is where the problem resides. Being governed now by 2.5 million unelected bureaucrats and worthless other three branches caused ALL our problems.

Time to cut the strings on a failed experiment

“wake-up call”.... If America needs a "wake-up call" it sure as heck ain't going to be about the weather.. The weather is the LEAST of our worries..

The "eyes of Texas" and that of the rest of the nation better take a real long look at what's happening DC.!! We are about to lose our nation..

The commies have rigged the elections and now are about to drive the final nail into our coffin with that "covid relief bill" and a $15 dollar minimum wage.! And they have everyone standing about, talking about the weather.. We're doomed.... :(

Hot. Cold. Dry. Wet. Tornados. Hurricanes. Or not. Science can not, ever, have different outcomes.

Al Gore has made the disappearing snows of Mount Kilimanjaro a cornerstone of his crusade against global warming.

In his '2006' film "An Inconvenient Truth" for example, he says: "Within the decade, there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro."

Oops! Mount Kilimanjaro 2020.

Gina the ignoramus socialist greenie has the “Wake up Call” part correct...wake up and build more winterized nat gas power plants in Texas and less “climate chage causing” wind turbines (take wind energy out of the ecosystem and cause excess heating downstream) and solar panel “fields” (cause ground dwelling animal & plant ecosystem damage due to shading).

The blunders, failures and lies of Big Government organizations made the Covid pandemic much worse than it had to be. Now we see their green energy fiascos fail disastrously in Texas (quite predictably). The Democrat solution? More Big Government. Total insanity. These people really are suffering from cognitive disorders.

They are not crazy, they are EVIL! They intend to destroy the USA.

Yes, they are totally inept, but they do not intend to fix anything. That is why they use BLM, Black Block, and Antifa. They are destroyers that are protected by the Cabal.
