Not in the nose enough. Name them after the companies. Increment them if/when necessary.
“Everyone stay indoors next week as the BP2 heat wave sweeps across the continent.”
nah, everyone knows the corrupt companies names.
applies human names and faces to the corruption so they can’t as easily just live freely into he world.
they deserve nonstop harassment and ridicule anywhere they go at all times. make them flee this planet.
Instead of incrementing, assign numbers with no real meaning.
Remember BP86 last year? Remember BP165 the year before?
Efficient.

Greenpeace Canada wanted to name the Alberta Tarsands tailing ponds after oil execs and politicians that enabled them to happen. They never did it, but it seemed like a good idea.

Unless we name them more “kiki” and less “bouba” then we’ll have the same issue with people not taking them seriously.
Hurricane “Katrina” sounds like an annoying neighbor, but Hurricane “Windsmasher” is easier to explain how to lose a whole coastline.
I dub the current one: Heatwave “Pedofire” in honor of the ones who deny it’s a problem.
