In a world with man made climate change, hurricanes should have sponsor labels like NASCAR.
“Hurricane Milton is brought to you by British Petroleum”.

This is identical to another shower thought from yesterday
How high are you
No officer, its “Hi, how are you”.
Hurricane Helene is brought to you by ExxonMobil
Be careful what you wish for.
“Yes they can control the weather, It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”
Sorry
I couldn’t help myself
We can control the weather! It might just involve guillotining anyone who won’t stop using a private plane.
Our weather is under control. It’s just under the control of multi national profiteers at the expense of any and all.
Even MTG can have a sane point even if she horseshoed her way to it
With all the hot air that woman blows I’m surprised she’s not taking credit for climate change!
Now they don’t say hurricane anymore unless it’s sponsored by Coca-Cola. Hope you guys are enjoying the Big Storm.
All companies should donate to a climate fund. Whoever donates the least, gets to be famous.
All people should donate and those who donate the least get famous.
Oh wow! Look what happened! It’s all the poor people who contributed to the problem the least, who also can’t afford to donate, that look bad.
Sorry, but this is patently a terrible idea. at least from the perspective of calling out the poorest.
NASCAR works. The wind does all left turns.
Make this mandatory so that funding from the actual causes go to where they are responsible for and to expose crimes against the planet. Maybe then they’ll care when they lose money from their negative actions and exposed crime affecting their sales.
Only if when they show the radar of it on the weather reports, it’s got a corporate logo superimposed over it spinning across Florida.
There’s no such thing as bad exposure, so no, they should not get free advertising for catastrophies they’ve caused.
People who say that have never boycott something in their life.
If there was no bad publicity, PR firms would not exist.
Purdue pharmaceuticals got some pretty bad PR for the opioid crisis that got turned into settlement money, maybe we can finally use that model to get us some UBI as climate justice
The sponsorships should be for companies that thrive because they make products that increase global warming (or use them), which is most companies, so I digress.
It should also be an involuntary thing. Getting a natural disaster assigned to you should be a badge of shame, and any company named for it should be obligated to help with relief efforts.
Given the negative PR and cost for providing relief, I’m betting that quite a few would clean things up pretty quickly so they don’t earn the badge of shame. Maybe enough to slow or stop global climate change.
But all of this requires that we care more about people and the climate than we do about corporations and their profits. Since it’s been made clear that the government is basically bought and owned by corporate interests, this will never happen.
The solution is to supplant the existing government with one that actually represents the interests of the people that live in the country, not the corporations.
We’d run out of companies though
