As you might have heard West Texas is on fire.  All of it.  Ablaze.

It’s being caused by weather.  Texas is in a drought.  A big one.

However, Texas Republicans, like Ralph Hall, deny it has anything to do with weather.

So here is the strange summation: Ralph Hall represents a state and district suffering from (and highly vulnerable to) drought; global warming is expected to worsen drought risks for Texas and Hall’s district; Hall questions the science of global warming; Hall leads his party in an effort to block funding for a climate service that would help his district, and many other regions, assess their vulnerability and prepare for a changing climate.

Juanita has a solution.

“It’s simple.  Somebody needs to set Ralph Hall’s butt on fire.”

That seems workable.

Thanks to Rod way up there in Canada for the heads-up.
