Joe Romm blames the lack of rain in Texas on denier Rick Perry, but I am not convinced. Texas is also a hotbed of alarmist prophets like Dessler, North, Gammon and Hayhoe – who told us that this was going to happen.

• North the prophet
• Gammon the prophet
• Lyndon Johnson, who caused the extreme droughts of the 1950s
