So the UK Met Office is inviting people to suggest up to 5 names for storms. And apparently lots of people have been suggesting "Storm Bigoil", along with BP, Equinor, Exxon & Shell... This is obviously appalling & definitely not to be emulated via this link:

@Natasha_Jay appalling. I just wanted to say that I definitely did not do that.

@crouton @Natasha_Jay me neither. That would draw attention to these companies' role in the climate crisis, and embarrass them, which we should certainly not do.
