For scientists, the havoc wreaked by the extreme winter weather that has hit Texas did not come as a surprise, writes Justin Worland. Ten years ago, in 2011, energy regulators warned the state’s electric-grid operators that they were ill-prepared for an unprecedented winter storm. For Texas, it was always just a matter of time. Despite these warnings, the state was unprepared—which Texans realized as soon as the storm swept in. Millions were left without electricity, at least one city turned off its water supply, and Harris County, where Houston is located, reported hundreds of cases of carbon monoxide poisoning as Texans turned on their own generators to warm up. The cascade of failures in Texas signals what is perhaps the greatest challenge ahead in this climate-changed world: accepting that business as usual isn’t working.
