    Name them after the oil execs. “In tonight’s new the death toll climbs to 11,000 in the Darren Woods heat event…”

    We’d run out of them rather quickly.

    We’d need some kind of name variant system, hopefully more interesting than ‘Saudi Aramco the 147th’.

      We’d run out of them rather quickly.

      We could also add on the CEOs, the companies the co-conspirators, the lobbying groups, the politicians, etc.

      It’s fine to run out I think. When someone talks about the Shell or BP heatwave and someone else needs ask which one, it gets the point across even more that these companies are responsible.

    If we’re talking about society-wide paradigm shifts, may I suggest we try putting executives in prison first?

    We could name all extreme weather events after them. Hurricane Exxon, Cyclone Aramco, Storm BP.

    Problem is singling any one of them out is grounds for defamation.

      I’ve seen the idea before. You don’t single one out, you do though the alphabet like they do with storm names. There’s plenty of companies to choose from at each letter so you can do different ones different years.

      Is it defamation if it’s true? In a podcast about serial killers, it isn’t considered defamation either if an episode is about one specific serial killer, right?

      I’m sure we’ll have plenty of devastating heatwaves to go around
