I have seen the images coming out of Texas and it is a really sad and a terrible situation. We must address, as a nation, the solutions to when certain areas are experiencing drastic changes in the weather. SNOW and FREEZING TEMPS in TEXAS--that is unheard of--- but welcome to 2021.

I know it happened before but it was kind of shocking considering Texas' temperatures are usually pretty high in places near the equator. Climate change is honestly really scary when it's to the extreme. The Earth can be warming up for 1 second and we can be in the ice age for another. There was actually surprisingly a lot of snow this year. Who knows what 2021 will bring.

I have heard and read about what is happening in Texas and the situation is bad there. I hope that we as a nation can help the people in Texas to find shelter to people who lost there homes from the climate changes and give further help to the people of Texas.

I think that this situation is very unfortunate as many people are suffering. I also do think that this situation will help Texas and other states be aware of these weathers. furthermore, this can help them prepare if this unexpected situation turns to be more expected as the climate is really changing. this may also help people be more aware of the climate as this drastic change is a signal of how human activity is affecting the planet more and more.

I think that what's happening in Texas right now is horrible and that the idea that climate change caused this is horrible since that means humans caused this suffering to to other humans and that means that it's partially our fault that people are dying to the cold so that means we should try to lessen climate change

I think that what is happening in Texas is very alarming. On TikTok I saw videos of families in Texas talking about the temperatures and how it was freezing. Many people spoke out and there were platforms that showed ways to keep warm. For example, covering windows with cloth and stuffing the gaps in doors with plastic bags to keep in the heat. I think that this situation can spread awareness about climate change because Texas isn't usually that cold. So for it to be freezing to that extent means that climate change is a big issue. As a nation we should group together in order to address this issue and think of ways to help.

I think the events that are happening in Texas are tragic since Texas has never experienced snow before and is not prepared so there will be power outages, crashes, etc. The idea of climate change is really bad since the earth can be at temperatures it's not supposed to be at such as Texas which experiences summer weather all the time, but now, faces winter weather even though it's near the equator.

i feel extremely bad for Texas people mainly because they aren't used to this weather , their homes aren't built for this and they might not have any idea what to do in this situation . the houses are falling apart , their heat is off, water and more .

I think that this snow storm in Texas is a big evidence that climate change is happening very badly. Texas don't have a snowstorm this big, and often because of its location and temperature. Now, they had snowstorm and people there doesn't really know how to deal with the results of this weather. New York has snowstorms more often, so they know how to deal it quick and good.

Usually when people think of places that don't have snowfall, Texas comes to mind often. Now the fact that Texas is colder than some other places in the U.S. is just mind blowing and horrific because Texas doesn't often receive snow and will be new to how to handle the snow storm. Climate change is also a disaster to the planet because the planet is heating up and starting fires which are destroying lives and homes. If people were the cause, people should also be the solution. This is our only planet that we found that sustains life. We have to take care of it.

I think what is happening in Texas is horrible. We know Texas as this hot place but with the horrible effects of global warming, Texas is in this horrible state where they are in freezing temperatures. I mean Texas wasn't prepared they don't have installation in the walls, the electricty grids can stay with the snow and temperatures and know all these people are hungry, freezing, some even dying from hypothermia, due to the horrible affects of global warming.

I think what happens in Texas is really unusual because of how it is usually hot but now it is hitting record low temperatures. It shows climate change plus the fact that Texas weren't prepared for such a big snow storm since it rarely happens to them.

I find it very sad to see people without power, freezing and I saw on the news a couple of days ago about the mayor resigning after telling the people of Texas to stop complaining and deal with it themselves. This made me even wonder why he was mayor in the first place and I wish I could do something to help the people of Texas

Climate change has always been a big problem, but not enough people care or believe in it, like theory groups say how climate change is fake, or weather is fake and made artificially, and its ridiculous how people don't notice that its real just by looking at what is happening around them

The events in Texas are very dreadful, as it causes harm to other people's lives. Most people are outsiders, and can only feel sympathy for the unfortunate, but the residents in Texas has a 180° perspective on it. They only have one life, one consciousness, and it can end just like that, going to the afterlife easily, with no trace, which is scarier than it sounds.

I feel really bad about the extreme weather that Texas is experiencing. I saw some photos from people who live in Texas and their houses were wrecked, lots of water damage and frost. There was also a huge blackout and most people couldn't get heating to protect themselves from the cold. It's very interesting that such a warm state like Texas is getting a lot of snow. Someone said that the polar vortex in the north pole is weakening due to the rising temperatures, which allows cold polar jets to stream further into America. I hope things get better for Texans and maybe people will start to view climate change as a more serious subject.

Texas is usually a warm place, so this change in temperature is surely traumatizing and unexpected. It's so bad that people are actually dying from the cold. Upon looking at pictures and footage of people's houses completely destroyed and all those people struggling to not freeze to death, it really upsets me. I hope everyone who lives there, stays safe and warm. Moreover, I also hope this really helps open the eyes of people who have doubted climate change.

I think that the situation in Texas is very concerning because of the very bizarre. First, Texas isn't used to these extremely cold temperatures and have never seen these temperatures. Due to all of the cold water, a lot of the people in Texas don't have water, electricity or gas. Many people have also lost their homes and their cars.

What's happening in Texas right now is out of the ordinary for them and they have every right to overreact because this shouldn't be happening. It's unfortunate that Texans have to deal with no power and unusual weather that they're surprised by and having to cave in their homes. Texas is known for humid and dry weathers and snow is just unheard of, after all it's 2021 so, I would have expected nothing less.

Firstly, the current misfortune of climate change is extremely frightening for many territorial locations, especially areas with temperatures that are extremely hot or areas with temperatures that are extremely cold. Admittedly, the current global crisis regarding the climate change in Texas is immensely shocking. It's unfortunate that they have to struggle to survive with few resources and adapt to the significant change in weather.

The situation in Texas is significant to me, one reason, being that my mom traveled there on a business trip around 3 days before it had started to snow. (5 or something days before winter break). She was in one of the better places, with running water and electricity, and couldn't do much there because of the unsalted roads. I was just sitting on my sofa and saw "Texas Snow!" all over the news. One thing I hope this will make people realize, is the reality climate change is, including the U.S. government who should realize the safety hazards of such ignorance.

The situation in Texas is a horrible and truly sad situation. No one should ever have to go through that type of disaster. Some people even lost their homes because of floods and other issues. The U.S. should be giving more supplies to Texas and the state senate should be doing more for the state.

It's a shock to hear about what happen in Texas because normally there wouldn't be snowstorms around the area since it was closer to the equator. People living in Texas are uninformed and unprepared for what hit them. It's been a bad situation there so hopefully the conditions improve. This is just some of the effects of climate change that we are experiencing.

I think what happen in Texas is very dangerous, some people have died or injury by the wildfire. Many family also lose their home cause of the fire. This show that how dangerous the climate change is. In addition, the weather in winter also cause them don't have clean water to use. Therefore, I think people should start to do something to stop the climate change.

The events that are currently occurring in Texas are very tragic and shocking. But what really bothers me and disappointing me is that we are the ones who are causing this to happen because of the burning fossil fuels which produces carbon dioxide and the Increasingly intensive agriculture which produces more greenhouse gas. Moreover, the deforestation which causes different organisms to lose their habitats and cause deaths of many animals and plants. Even tho we are the causes of this geographical event most people don't really care, and they don't do anything about it to help change the fact that earth might be slowly dying. One of those examples is Texas.

What has happened in Texas is really shocking. The people their were not at all ready for a situation like this because they never experienced something like this. I think that we need to start the preparation in our whole nation, especially those in the south, to protect states from having to go through a tragedy like this again. This even applies to other places outside of America, we need to spread the warning and all prepare for what may come.
