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.

Do Marxists ever pass up an opportunity to express their hatred of the common people and those who dare disagree with them? The very ferocity of their insistence upon their own superiority tells me they know as well as we it's false.

The twenty-first century is starting out to be a doozie, what with the Left doing about any brain-dead thing they want to these days.

Of course, there haven’t been any hurricanes in the history of the world up until a couple of years ago.

A hurricane has to form before you can name it. Where is the increase of major hurricanes

I’d be honored to have a hurricane named after me because I refused to drink the AGW koolaid.

Crap! It sucks having a last name that starts with "V"!

I'll never get a hurricane named after me.

Maybe I'll change my name. Aaron Aardvark. Yeah. I like that.

I sort of like the idea. If I was a politician I would fully support this idea.
