minus-squareArsenal4ever@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up73·1 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-squareProteus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·1 year agoIIRC, a weatherman started doing this
minus-squarecyberpunk007@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoI would love to see citation of this, any links?
minus-squareNotyou@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·1 year agoMaybe they are referring to this… https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/meteorologist-heatwaves-oil-gas-companies-b2378915.html
minus-squareYellowGas@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoThat just sounds like free advertising. No one would actually connect the Sunoco name to a forest fire…but Sunoco would get their company name repeated millions of times per day on web and TV network traffic free of charge. No thanks.
