“Texans know our climate is changing. This heat wave is not the first climate disaster, and it won’t be the last. If our state leaders spent less time obsessing over people’s private parts, we could fix the grid, invest in renewables, and save our state for future generations.”

more like all those californians who just moved to texas have no idea how hot it gets. so they freak out about “climate change”. It did change, for them, cuz they moved.

@M23412963 Wtf is this guy talking about. It’s ALWAYS been this hot, we’re in the south. What Texas DIDNT get this summer, was an abundance of rain. I’ve never seen it so dry before. Just say after day after day of blue skys. Doesn’t really bother me, but that is definitely strange.

A voice of reason and facts and a real voice FOR the people of Texas who know Climate Change is real! Thank you so much @jamestalarico. We’re spending the summer months in MN because it was so unbearable last year in TX where we live!

I’m a Texan and know a lot of other Texans… only “climate” changing is grifters trying to use tax money of Texans once again… snake oil… What’s the current state incentive to get solar or wind for a home? Yeah there is none except scams.

Summers in OK are hot, they've always been hot, it's summer. Some are hotter, some are cooler. More cooler ones than hot ones! Quit lying!

Maybe if we all eat enough bugs, there will be no more heatwaves. What's your preferred insect meal replacement? Crickets? Maggots? Mealworms? Grasshoppers? Cockroach milk? The Planet is counting on us! 🙂

So well put! I agree on all points! I saw that interview live and was very impressed by you! So heartened to have a Texas representative who speaks sense! Wish there were more…. I’m Gen X but Gen Z & Millennials are gonna help turn Texas blue!!!

This is a pretty normal summer in Texas. 2011 saw 100 consecutive days over 100°. We’ve only had like 29 consecutive days over 100° and our average is 34. Days are getting shorter and temps will start falling soon enough.

Instead of blaming others, please list a detailed plan. What would you do if you had all the power?

Oh Jimmy, how do think those 8th generation ancestors felt in the same heat.
