minus-squareArsenal4ever@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up56arrow-down1·1 year agoOil and gas companies are awesome at branding. We need to be better. We should name the heatwaves after oil companies. We should also name the hurricane season. So the Exxon Mobile Heatwave, and the British Petroleum Hurricane Season. The Suncor Forest Fires. etc.

minus-squarecyberpunk007@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoI would love to see citation of this, any links?
