Why don't we name hurricanes and cyclones... after climate change deniers?
From 350 Action's website: [quote]Since 1954, the World Meteorological Organization has been naming extreme storms after people. As scientific evidence shows that climate change is creating increasingly frequent and devastating storms, and with climate scientists declaring these extreme weather events as the new normal, we propose a new naming system. A system that names extreme storms caused by climate change, after the policy makers who deny climate change and obstruct climate policy.[/quote]
Of course it'll never work, but I love the idea of tying the people responsible for stalling climate change action with the consequences of continued inaction.

Good thread.

Because female tornados etc. Are heartless, cold bitches... Destroying everything in their path and costing us millons.

Because it is actually a controversy, and I hope that we are above publicly shaming people because of their opinions.

1 ReplyBecause Climate change is fake. FYI It used to be called "Global Warming" a few years ago, and in the 70s-80s it was "Global Cooling".

Because it's fine the way it is.
-
As long as it's after the policy makers and nobody else, sure.
-
We should definitely do this.

2 RepliesBad idea posting this when the global warming movement suffered a giant blow in the form of "incorrect predictions... once again."

6 RepliesWhy keep naming them people names? Why not just name them for what they are going to do and what's going to happen when they roll through? At least then people might pack up and evacuate properly. I mean whats scarier, Hurricane Sally or Omega Shitstorm Seven the -blam!-inator? I know which one I'd run from.....
