Forget about Andrew, Sandy or Katrina. How about Marco Rubio, Michelle Bachmann or Rick Perry? It seems that an environmental group, 350 Action, has organized a petition drive to urge the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to name hurricanes and tropical storms after political leaders who deny the existence of climate change. The WMO normally names hurricanes using a pre-determined alphabetical list which gets recycled every six years.
In addition to the petition, 350 Action has also released a video, which shows fake news reports about hurricanes named after climate change deniers.
As of the writing of this blog post, the online petition had more the 40,000 signatures.
