Several cities, including Houston, San Antonio and Austin, could set new daily temperature records. And there will be little relief in the coming days.

    Doesn’t make much difference for Texans, because their brains are fried already, and their only response is: “Global warming is a hoax.” Which they repeat as maybe a mantra. Hard to tell by now whether it may be some sort of prayer?

      They will just burn more fossil fuels and crank up the AC.

        Until their crappy isolated power grid will break again. Making people wonder where all the government money to fix and fortify the Texas power grid actually went…

    Good thing Texans want to kill off renewable energy in favour of burning more fossil fuels. I’m sure that’ll help.

    It’s mid-May, so August should be a lot of fun.

    So after that massive power outage in Spain a few weeks back, I’ve been wondering a lot if we’re going to be seeing many blackouts and examples of our own power grids mysteriously being attacked during heat waves over the summer? Followed by no real answer about what happened, except maybe vaguely blamed on “Russians?”

    Seems like a tactic this administration would use in order to crush dissent.

    Ted Cruz’s daughters are probably asking him if they can go to Greenland for vacation right now.
