"Let’s be crystal clear: scientists have known for decades that climate change is making rainfall more extreme. Texas’s most intense rain events are now up to 20% stronger than they were just 50 years ago, thanks to warmer air holding more moisture.

That’s not politics, it’s physics."

"We live in a country where children drown because billionaires fear solar panels, and politicians fear Fox News more than they fear deadly torrential downpours that will claim the lives of their own constituents. Where the same people who cut our weather warnings will call the next flood an “act of God” when, in reality, it’s simply an act of greed, ignorance, and denial."

Meanwhile, Marjorie Taylor Greene is out here ranting about banning “weather-modification chemicals”, parroting conspiracy theories about secret government weather machines. She’s ready to fight a make-believe chemtrail war while ignoring real floods killing real children and while the GOP’s 2025 platform is doubling down on fossil fuels while attacking renewable energy.
