Several years ago, a group of Houston environmental activists held an event to highlight concerns about the failure of politicians to address what exactly occurred in Houston, a flooding catastrophe. Will the politicians get serious now?

Houston’s devastating flood did not come without warning. Until politicians take environmental activists seriously, the pain will persist. I saw Jim Blackburn interviewed by Rachel Maddow a few days ago. The exchange upset me because it should not have taken the Houston flood to give this man air time for a major problem in the country’s fourth largest city. A disabled Houston cripples the nation.

I soon remembered an interview I did with Jim Blackburn, Donna Hackemack Bryant, Christina Walsh, three environmental activists and politically aware Houstonians a few years ago. They have been warning about the potential for a failure of many of Houston’s flood control infrastructure because of development, lacking acknowledgment of the effects of climate change, and political malpractice. Their words speak for themselves.

They predicted Houston’s catastrophic flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey

Donna Hackemack Bryant referenced  Dr. Andrew Dessler, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Texas A&M University. Following is an interview I did with him on climate change.

Climate change is an important topic. It is coming home to roost. There will be many events similar to Houston’s that will afflict many Americans in different parts of the country. We must get the message out. Please share.
