Ahead of deadly Texas floods, so many warnings from climate scientists were missed
Briefly

The Texas floods have resulted in over 100 confirmed deaths and around 160 individuals still missing. A comprehensive recovery effort is in progress, raising critical questions about climate disaster accountability and management. Climate scientists had warned of severe weather conditions due to unprecedented polar ice melt and rising temperatures, contributing to increased storm severity and frequency. These climatic changes have led to devastating floods across various states, underscoring the urgent need for communities to invest in preparedness and mitigation strategies. Current leadership is criticized for denying climate change, delaying necessary actions.
The Northern polar cap had the most melt of ice ever recorded in history, impacting weather patterns and causing storms to inundate communities with heavy rains.
Climate scientists began ringing the alarm bells for a horrific period of weather in the United States starting in spring, resulting from record winter melt and warming temperatures.
More than 100 people are confirmed dead, and at least 160 are still missing in the Texas floods, prompting questions about predictability, preventability, and accountability.
The increased frequency of devastating storms necessitates that communities prone to flooding prepare and invest in measures to save lives and properties.
