» Would Harvey make Texans Rethink about Climate change?

No, I still believe in man made climate change because the science is there.

The body is still warm so to speak. I don't deny it being relevant to the situation but there's still a place and time for such discussion.

I would say no.
Apparently it happened 1000 years ago? So it's probably more evidence that things are cyclical.
However, it's basically human race standard to look in the face of evidence and deny it exists. So i doubt this will change anyone's mind.
Remember, right now they are tearing down statues and trying to start a civil war... Because they are offended by the last civil war.....*facepalm*

Are you suggesting that combative measures would certainly ensure that this hurricane wouldn't have happened? If so, you may need to review the science yourself.
And for what it's worth, this hurricane should absolutely not change anyone's mind about climate change. If you didn't believe in it in the first place, then a natural disaster should not be taken as evidence that you were wrong. I could make the same argument about a wrathful god sending the hurricane because people in Texas were wrong about religion and I'd rightly be called out as a moron. Stop begging the question. Reasoning like this does absolutely nothing to help combat climate change.

If we educate the hurricane about how the burdens of climate change fall disproportionately on developing countries, it would fuck off and go screw with some African place nobody's ever heard of.

No, but nor should it, and that is true regardless of whether you acknowledge man-made climate change is real or not.
I always get annoyed with people who take this attitude, even ignoring how tacky it is ("Hah, sucks to be you! If you'd just believed in climate change, your house and all your possessions would still be around!"), because it has absolutely no basis in science. Saying any one event is attributable to climate change is absurd, because the science simply isn't that precise. For all we know, this one particular storm could have been worse in a world without anthropogenic climate change.
You can't attribute individual events to climate change; you can only note trends. Harvey is one data-point on the graph, not a trendline in and of itself.

If this is a direct result of climate change, I'd say they should change their minds about climate change.

Perhaps, but it'll still be the same issue in a week or a month...I don't get the impression the TC was trying to slight their problems, just to get a perspective on if their ideas might shift a little now that it's 'in their backyard' so to speak.

That's because I didn't Google it.

Apply a simple "geico rule" to these sort of things:
If inserting "I just saved 15% on my car insurance by switching to GEICO" would be awkward for the conversation, anything else is likely to be awkward also.
