hehe, I love where this is going. Name and shame, folks, name and shame.

PS: https://carbonmajors.org/Entities has a list of the largest emitters (I don’t think this list is full historical emissions, just current)

Get naming, folks.

e.g. Hurricane Aramco, Firestorm Gazprom, Heatwave BP, proudly sponsored by…BP

I suggest we name them after the executives rather than the corporations.

I think we keep the company names to make it more digestible for the not terminally online. And use executive names as the sub titles.

I like it.

Yeah, like this… “Our top story tonight, the Chevron/Mike Wirth heatwave, was responsible for 10 more deaths yesterday."

How do we get this started? If we can erroneously associate a VP candidate with intimate furniture acts, then this must be possible.
