An extreme snowstorm hit Texas in mid-February, leaving millions without power. These damages did not come as a surprise because of Texas’ ill preparation for extreme weather. The catastrophe can be linked to a string of planning failures, including the lack of infrastructure hardening and ignoring forecasting of storms. These failures show that humanity haven't take the challenges of the climate-changed planet seriously because we need updated preparations now. The freak snowstorm, polar vortex and a weakened jet stream are proven to be linked to global warming. Electric-grid planners have tried hard to ensure that electricity supply can match demand but the electric grid still is incapable of keeping up with climate curveballs. In 2020, the U.S has spent a lot on tackling weather and climate events. These climate-linked disasters and fallout will make it more difficult to manage as as global warming intensifies, so it is advised to invest fully in measures like hardening infrastructure and localized energy productions, integrating technologies and doing a holistic job.
