We have lost over 300 million trees since 2010. Climate change has hit this state very hard already, but so many still deny it here. Lake Travis that serves Austin is only 31% full - water restrictions all over the state. The irony is the oil companies using millions of gallons of fresh water for fracking occurring all over the state - now that is crazy!
