350 Action is out with a video that is as jarring as it is hilarious. It notes the injustice of naming devastating hurricanes after people who, most likely, had nothing to do with their destructive power.

It suggests a new nomenclature: “As climate change continues to create more frequent and devastating storms, we propose a new naming system. One that names extreme storms after policymakers who deny climate change.”

Before the “Hurricane Marco Rubio” graphic popped up, it seemed as though they would suggest naming hurricanes after the corporate world’s largest greenhouse gas emitters. There’s a poetic justice here, though, to calling out some of the more prominent politicians that deny climate change:

  • Sen. Marco Rubio: “I don’t think there’s the scientific evidence to justify it … The climate is always changing. The climate is never static.”
  • Rep. Michele Bachmann: “Carbon dioxide, Mister Speaker, is a natural byproduct of nature. Carbon dioxide is natural. It occurs in Earth. It is a part of the regular lifecycle of Earth.”
