To follow up on yesterday’s entry, the difficulty in Texas is that its leadership often appears to subscribe to the Donald Trump School of Denial and Doubling Down. So, the likelihood that people will learn anything from the July 4 tragedy is dependent on Governor Abbott and his staff being open to a certain criticism and introspection and review—not in order to find a scapegoat but rather to learn something that might help in the inevitable next time.
Even if the Guadalupe event was a rare, perfect storm of conditions, accelerated climate change is here, even and especially in Texas. The once-in-a-lifetime events will be coming more frequently than once in a lifetime. Turning a blind eye and siding with the fossil fuel industry isn’t going to help.
