“we’ll be fine. As my dad says, it’ll rain. It always does.”
- Texas Governor Rick Perry Summer, 2011
Seven years ago, our top climate experts said Texas would be hot and dry for the rest of the century, and they ridiculed Governor Perry for praying and pointing out the obvious – that drought is always followed by rain.

Rick Perry was correct. Since 2011, Texas has been having some of their wettest years on record.

The frequency of hot days in Texas has been declining for 110 years – 2011 was a hot outlier, just as 2007 was a cool outlier. Rick Perry’s statement was based on long term observation, whereas the climate experts based their junk science on a single short term weather event.
And now, the same climate snake oil saleswomen who predicted permanent heat and drought, are blaming the rain on global warming.
The complete lack of integrity and skill by these people is nothing short of stunning.
