It's time to name heat waves like we do hurricanes (2024)
nytimes.comSince cold waves are more deadly why prioritize heat waves?
Non-sequitor: We already name winter storms.

Because it goes with the narrative
Climate change isn't a narrative.
Why not?
Not all narratives are fictional. They're just all stories.
Although the part I always find a bit weird with climate change is that all the counter-arguements seem so poor. Like even if somehow it's not man-made, if the earth is going towards a less habitable climate for humans then we should make it man-made in the other direction!
They are more deadly for now. Heat waves are just the most visible part of the changing climate.
Or to stop naming hurricanes.
