Texas Will Be Bigger and Hotter

The Texas Tribune has a wonderful series on Texas Falling Behind.  Check out Water Planners Focus on Bigger Texas, Not a Hotter One.  From the article:

"But as state water planners prepare to spend that money and address Texas’ water needs in the coming decades, they are only planning for a bigger Texas — not a hotter one. Scientists say Texas Republican leaders’ aversion to reducing the state's economic dependency on carbon-polluting fossil fuels — and their reluctance to acknowledge climate change — prevent the state from properly planning for the impacts of a warming planet on natural resources crucial to its growing population."
