From 2017: As Catastrophic #Flooding Hits Houston, Fears Grow of #Pollution from #OilRefineries & #Superfund Sites
#DemocracyNow, August 28, 2017
"A catastrophic storm has hit Houston, the nation’s fourth-largest city and home to the largest refining and #petrochemical complex in the United States. The crisis began on Friday when Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Rockport, Texas. It was the most powerful hurricane to strike the state in more than 50 years. Much of the damage has been caused by the massive rainfall, with parts of Texas already receiving 30 inches of rain. That could top 50 inches in the coming days. Entire highways in Houston are now underwater. The storm has caused five reported deaths, but the death toll is expected to rise. Thousands of people are still stranded in their homes, waiting to be rescued. Meanwhile, the city of Dallas prepares to turn its convention center into a mega-shelter to host 5,000 evacuees. The National Weather Service released a statement on Sunday saying, 'This event is unprecedented and all impacts are unknown and beyond anything experienced.' We speak with Bryan Parras, an organizer for the #BeyondDirtyFuels campaign with the #SierraClub in Houston, Texas. He helped found the #EnvironmentalJustice group t.e.j.a.s."

#Texas #Floods Were Made Worse by #Climate Denialism
Scientific evidence is clear that the more frequent #extremeweather we are experiencing is being driven by #climatechange — and it’s only going to get worse. As the director of the Texas Center for Extreme Weather at Texas A&M University put it, the storms and flooding in central Texas are “exactly what the future is going to hold.” And yet so many elected officials are pretending otherwise.

This seems like a big deal as #climatechange forces many places to add AC/heat pump load during the summer:

We seem to be stuck in a dangerous and destructive paradigm. Our current approach to climate change is painfully inadequate. Will shifting paradigms be easier if we start with a few small shakes? https://quantumsocialchange.substack.com/p/paradigm-shakes #ClimateChange #Solarpunk

How about - y'know - maybe - pretty, please - also think about the folks in the global south who have no money (thank you very much colonial past and continued looting under the guise of IMF/WB) to get air-conditioning? Or maybe... who knows... allow them to migrate to your "cool" countries?
POTUS will wander around in Texas, pretending he's a leader. Ryan Hall's "Y'all Squad" managed to fund 3 RVs for people there. It's not a solution to corrupt government enriching politicians and crooks. It's people helping people because our government is incapable of anything that doesn't enrich the dictator or his friends.
Iowa is getting some nasty-looking weather today.
