Doesn't make much difference for Texans, because their brains are fried already, and their only response is: "Global warming is a hoax." Which they repeat as maybe a mantra. Hard to tell by now whether it may be some sort of prayer?

Until their crappy isolated power grid will break again. Making people wonder where all the government money to fix and fortify the Texas power grid actually went...
It's mid-May, so August should be a lot of fun.
