@kongakong @otfrom Probably better to name them after polluters that the locals actually know, I’ve never seen chevron in Europe. The Shell heatwave works.

Maybe... just make these big polluters famous/notorious if they are not well known to you already, so people can hold them accountable ? 🤷‍♂️
Carbon dioxide does not respect national boundaries. The climate crisis is global.

@kongakong @otfrom True but I’d rather have people associate the heatwave with a well known (and at least as bad) polluter, than having the majority think that “chevron” is just a thing meteorologists thought was a good way of naming heatwaves and never looking it up. We don’t lack local oil companies either, the next one can be BP.
