Texas Flooding Sparks Debate Over Climate Change | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The deadly flash flooding in Central Texas is hitting close to home for several members of Congress, with some lawmakers’ children and grandchildren directly impacted. Representative Chip Roy, whose district includes the flood-ravaged region, says there will be second-guessing and finger-pointing as people look for someone to blame... but now is not the time. However, some Democratic lawmakers are pointing fingers at the Trump administration, accusing it of downplaying climate change and slashing funding for disaster preparedness. Some highlight staffing losses at the National Weather Service and the administration’s proposed $2 billion in cuts to NOAA — including the entire climate change research program.
