The tragedy on the Guadalupe River in Texas is as shocking and sad as it gets. A flash flood took the lives of at least 100 people, including many children, at a popular Christian summer camp held in the floodplain. Climate alarmists and ghoulish politicians were quick to blame both climate change and budget and staffing cuts by President Trump for the loss of life.
The truth is, the federal agency responsible for issuing flash flood warnings did its job and confirmed it had sufficient staffing. Flash floods are a regular occurrence in the Texas Hill Country, with that very same floodplain experiencing a similar tragedy in the 1980s. The attempts to politicize this tragedy and use it to advance the climate agenda are disgusting and wrong.
On episode #164 of The Climate Realism Show, we bring you the facts.
The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week with special guests Myron Ebell and Steve Milloy.
What changes are afoot in climate and energy policy thanks to the Big Beautiful Bill signed into law by President Trump on July 4? Why are climate alarmists so obsessed (and wrong) about bees? And Bill Nye is up to his tired old tricks again, blaming the Texas floods on our use of fossil fuels.

Very tragic but, as the article says, flooding in Texas is not new. Hearts and prayers go out to the families.
The title, Texas Flood, reminded me of the Stevie Ray Vaughan song and album of the same name. Native Texan who died too soon. The song–Texas Flood–was written in 1958.
Flooding down in Texas is featured in numerous popular songs.
And just when I was seriously thinking about renewing my membership to the Planetary Society, Bill Nye rears his head and reminds me of why I haven’t renewed in years.
I feel so sorry for the people affected by the flooding in Texas. It’s a terrible tragedy.
Here in N Ireland we, also, have been having climate change, otherwise known as lovely summer weather.
Progressives/Marxists never let a tragedy go to waste. America use to have a two party system that relied on adherence to the Constitution and common sense. No more.
The Hunga Tonga eruption has affected worldwide rainfall levels. This was predicted at the time, with an estimate of at least 4 years of weather disruption.

You never see this mentioned in any climate news. It’s too inconvenient.
Yesterday – 11 July – the BBC was suggesting that President Trump with his government reduction of the number of government employees may somehow have been responsible. They have had a whole week to get their story straight and to rather focus on the efforts of those who have rescued many and are helping but no they have to use this to spread lies.
