Hurricane Michele Bachmann? Groups Hope to Name Storms After Climate-Change Deniers
National Journal Alex Brown 5 hours ago
If a pair of environmental groups get their way, Hurricane Michele Bachmann or Tropical Storm John Boehner could be the next storms threatening to wreak havoc on the U.S.
A new petition, proposed by Project Name Change and 350+ Action Fund, seeks to name storms after politicians who the groups say deny climate change. The groups' website provides a list of the targeted politicians.
Of course, it is unlikely that the World Meteorological Organization will change its naming practices, but the petition has garnered almost 49,000 signatures.
A video touting the plan shows mocked-up weather reports warning that "Marco Rubio is expected to pound the Eastern Seaboard" and "David Vitter is literally lifting boats out of the water and tossing them onto land." The levees "built to stop Hurricane Collin Peterson have been obliterated," says another report.
Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., one of Congress's most outspoken deniers of global warming, was a major target. "An entire nation is wondering how they'll ever recover from the disaster that is James Inhofe," the video's somber news anchor intones.

Now, don’t be gettin’ all wee-wee’d UP! LOL!
P.S. Eat your peas. ;)
I’m good with this if we can name economic and social disasters after the liberals who cause them.
Awwww too bad, Al....maybe next year.
And while we’re at it, let’s name epic wildfires, like the one raging in Yosemite, after the enviro-wackos who cause them by preventing the forests from being cleared of underbrush.
Something that we have said or done has triggered their fight or flight emotion.
We have hit an emotional weak spot!
We need the Conservative Pack to keep circling the Libs, and then pick off the weak ones as they stumble through the field that we call REALITY.
Too bad the NOAA blew it again this year with their hurricane fear mongering.
I’d be proud. They can name one after me.
Global Warming was a lot worse 120 years ago.

How about naming dumpsters after prominent fetal-pain deniers?
Hurricane Laz it will hit everything
So there has never been a hurricane before man drove SUVs?

I agree in principle, Graewoulf, but must confess I'm a little leery. According to Frisky the wonder tigress, it might be okay to turn Marxists into dog food, but no self-respecting can would so much as consider eating those [fill in the blank].
I have no objections to baiting, shining, or sport hunting.
Looks like this year will be exceptionally mild.
That’s right. I’ve read a number of books about pioneer days in Illinois. There were some amazing stories about dangerously severe weather here, both hot and cold. In fact, one speculated that bison may have been wiped out in Illinois by a massive snowfall so deep that they either starved or got stuck and died. Bison have not been seen in Illinois for over 200 years, but bones have been found.
Whenever I hear the man-made climate change people talk as if the weather has been mild up to now, I wonder if they have ever studied history.
How about Hurricane Bill Ayers? It focuses of US Government buildings,blowing them to smithereens.
Oh Goody! I get to have a hurricane named after me.
I hope you understand their “stance” has nothing to do with climate or history.
It’s all about taxation and control. The idiots that buy into it are just that, idiots.
