Lefty billionaire Michael Bloomberg is back in the spotlight exploiting the disastrous Texas floods to blow a gasket over arguably his most obsessive political issue — you guessed it — climate change.
The anti-American energy media mogul belched out a new op-ed on Bloomberg Opinion pontificating how “The Texas Floods Were Made Worse by Climate Denialism.” No, he wasn’t kidding.
Bloomberg railed about how “[t]he scientific evidence is clear that the more frequent extreme weather we are experiencing is being driven by climate change — and that it’s only going to get worse.” Of course the Texas floods which killed over 100 people couldn’t just be the result of a natural disaster without shoe-horning climate politics into it, right?…
JunkScience.com founder Steve Milloy blasted Bloomberg for his outrageously tone-deaf political hot take in comments to MRC Business. “It’s sad to see radical climate activists like Michael Bloomberg trying to exploit the tragic Texas flooding to advance its political agenda.” As Milloy analyzed, “Just for the record: This area of Texas is known for flash floods, extreme rainfall is not correlated with emissions and there hasn’t even been any ‘global warming’ over the past five days.” …
Milloy pointed out that “the National Weather Service was sufficiently staffed and issued warnings in time for local officials to be aware of the risks.” The NWS’s X account was issuingwarnings to Texas residents from Thursday, July 3 into the wee hours of Friday, July 4. Milloy concluded that an “[i]nvestigation will show how the warning system failed and improvements will be made. We should pray for the families and condemn the climate ambulance chasers.” No kidding. Bloomberg actually even tried to make the tragedy a Get-Out-The-Vote platform…
