Matthew HaugheyWe should name our heat waves after oil companies, in alphabetical order like hurricanes or tornadoes. So you’d say the western US is currently suffering from heat wave: Shell Oil this week.
Allan Chow@mathowie for variety you could name it after oil spills
Dorkomatic@grumpasaurus @mathowie I had a habit of naming (fictional) drinks after oil-spills.
(I'll have two Torrey-Canyons and a pint of Exxon Valdiz please barman!)
But using the names for climate disasters makes much more sense!
rednikki@mathowie I think we should just start doing this with the next one. Call it the "BP heat wave."
Wes Kennedy@mathowie don’t forget to add google, Microsoft, Amazon, and the US Military to the mix
Kevin Rutherford@wesdottoday @mathowie... and bitcoin
Cluster Fcku@mathowie don't let these crooks hide behind corporations. Name the heat waves after oil execs.
Snooze Button Connoisseur@mathowie
Oh for the west should definitely be Chevron. I think Chevron originated out of California if I recall correctly.
Also I was lamenting earlier this week how sad ironic that city of Houston is taking a huge brunt of the hits being the oil & gas capital of the USA.
It's like all these deniers claiming climate change isn't real while also believing in "acts of god" and here we have literally "acts of god" devastating the city along with deregulation and isolation of their electric grid and they're like nope... it's them dang socialist liberals 🫥

Mr. Teatime@mathowie
Wouldn't we run out of names really quickly, and have to number them?
"Wait, did you mean Exxon12 or Exxon13?, bacause that was in the same place, no?"
...although I guess in some places (e.g. Romania right now), the heat waves will just bleed into one another soon enough, and then it's just one per year again, all summer/autumn, followed by the rain season and then back to Summer.
