I’m a Dem here in Texas. Our wind turbines froze.

Tell all of Texas’s elected Republicans that, they can’t seem to shut their yaps about it when it happens.

This is fully a political issue that is manifesting because of law taxes and non-action relation to climate change.

I am sorry it is happening, but it was a fully avoidable event.

This has nothing to do with climate change. It has everything to do with prioritizing worthless green energy over coal, oil, and the cleanest most powerful of all, nuclear.

WRONG. It’s good old overconfident, incompetent capitalism.
The Texas grid got crushed because its operators didn’t see the need to prepare for cold weather

I understand now. Fox and other right wing crap outlets have been spouting total lies about how the green economy is to blame for the shortcomings in Texas.

OMG, what a total fail.

Please read...if this is the "news" you are getting, you are being LIED to AGAIN.

This is seriously terrifying. I am upset that facts have no meaning to so many people including my parents.

Wind turbines provide 10% of the power so it’s not the problem you think it is. The problem rests elsewhere.

Climate change is the cause of the extreme cold in Texas.

Coal, oil, and nuclear is also offline bc the GOP is running Texas into the ground.

You’re a dope.

What was the cause of the extreme cold in TX when it happened isn’t the late 1800s?

Events that used to be “extreme” and happened on the order of once every hundred years are becoming more frequent. Texas will continue to experience these extremes over and over again in our lifetimes, where before it would have happened once at most. Look at hurricanes.

Third day straight of 'extreme' 'it'll never happen here' snowfall in Texas.

Meanwhile eastern NC had an EF# tornado yesterday and three people were killed, 50 homes were damaged or destroyed, and it did not make the news until I saw pictures on a photographer's FB page. They are sitting in the cold and dark in TX while in NC they are cold, it is dark, but they have no homes.

Tornados are awful and terrible. But, they are not unusual. Does every automobile fatality make the news?
I grew up in an area that suffers from tornados. My childhood home was damaged by one (no family at home at the time). They are not rare. The Texas snowstorm is extremely rare--and far more people are dying there because of road conditions and carbon monoxide poisoning in order to stay warm.

The area I come from rarely had snow or ice, but when we did it paralyzed the city. Ice is worse. Power was out for days on more than one occasion (better now, I understand.) No heat or electricity for days can be dangerous when the temps.
This Texas storm is affecting millions, and millions of people. And, sadly, there will be people without homes from fires, fallen trees, etc. And, there have already been deaths.

Yes. And tornadoes are also increasing in number and strength; another result of climate change.

The earth’s climate is changing because we can’t stop adding more heat to the atmosphere and just wrecking everything in the environment.

Meanwhile, over in Georgia the state senate is basically voting to end absentee voting. Republicanism is a cancer on the country.
