    Do you remember Boaty McBoatface?
    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:

    @MarkHoltom

    Once they’ve closed it, an FOI will be in order to see all the suggestions as I bet they won’t just publish them.

          @MarkHoltom Thank you for highlighting this. I have suggested the names of people who are very actively involved on generating storms:

          Ridley
          Monckton
          Lawson
          Farage
          Blair

            @MarkHoltom @jankmammal We all did this last year too. Amusing. They always ignore ‘political’ suggestions though.

              @MarkHoltom Well, the MetOffice have asked for it : “ Is your grandma a force of nature? Does your best friend cause an impact wherever they go? Now you can give them the recognition they deserve, by naming a storm after them.” “Impact”… yeah, Dave or Amy don’t really hit the mark, do they?

                            @MarkHoltom Totally didn’t use Shell, BP, Equinor, Total and Mobil, and totally didn’t give ”human-caused climate change by consumption of fossil fuels” as the reason!

                              We need to give credit where it's due: the people who have worked so hard over the decades to generate these heatwaves should be recognised.

                                      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:

                                      @MarkHoltom Chevron, Valero and Suncor can round the lot.

                                        @MarkHoltom Exxon is a slightly odd choice, given that their main brand in the UK is Esso.
