We all agree that storms and climate disasters should be named after oil executives, right?

Soo, since this is not (yet) happening... why not simply crating a bot here on mastodon for this purpose? 😈

We have all the ingredients at hand!

We need just:
- metereologists that know how the naming works and where to get the latest metereological events and their names. There must be some official source.
- lists with names of the most heinous fossil execs, and maybe one or two sentences about their achievements. With this we create a small database.
- somebody capable of building a bot that takes the official name and changes it into an executive of Exxon, Shell or whatever (the list is long, later Banks, Presidents, ClimateDenying Scientists... can be also included).

-> voilá, our ExecsOfClimateDisaster-bot is born

(the name is open for suggestions, too 😝 )

Come on, who wants to participate?

There's absolutely no easy way of putting it. We are now in a fullblown global climate catastrophe.

So, this just hammered down on us in Zumaia. Never seen hail nearly as big and I'm pretty sure it's not normal here in the N Atlantic coast of the Bay of Biscay. At all. In any case, scary stuff. I hope nobody got hurt.
