Push to name hurricanes after climate change deniers [View all]
http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2013-08-28/push-to-name-hurricanes-after-climate-change-deniers/4917206Awesome! Snips:
"The WMO usually attributes first names to the storms in alphabetical order from the beginning of the season, and alternates between male and female names each year.
But the campaigners have drawn up a list of American politicians they say deny climate change and obstruct climate policy.
They want the destructive storms to be named after them instead.
Names on the list include Texas governor Rick Perry and speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner."
