Bill Nye claims climate change has worsened Texas flooding disasters, arguing that the U.S. government needs to take climate change more seriously.

"These are roughly one-in-1,000-year events, [and] would be extremely rare in the absence of human-caused warming,” one climate scientist says.

Democrats have blamed climate change for the Texas floods around Camp Mystic, but Heritage experts poke holes in this narrative.

Warming ocean temperatures and warmer air mean there’s more water vapor in the atmosphere to fuel extreme downpours like those that struck Texas during the July 4 weekend.

Researchers agree that climate change has made torrential downpours more frequent—but the science gets murky when examining how strong the link is between an extreme event and climate change.

CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said on Thursday that Americans are not too concerned about climate change or about

Republican governors don’t seem to realize that their actions—or lack thereof—have devastating consequences.

Bill Nye knows that if Congress stopped denying the existence of climate change, disasters like the Texas Flash Flood could be prevented.

President Trump and Gov. Abbott have downplayed the link between extreme weather and climate change. Scientists say the warming climate is making storms worse.

Going back through U.S. weather station records dating to 1955, Kunkel found that rain over the past 20 years has become more intense in the eastern two-thirds of the country, including the southern Great Plains, where Texas is located. Intensities have remained the same or declined in the West and southwest.
