In a world with man made climate change, hurricanes should have sponsor labels like NASCAR.

“Hurricane Milton is brought to you by British Petroleum”.

“Yes they can control the weather, It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”

We can control the weather! It might just involve guillotining anyone who won’t stop using a private plane.

Our weather is under control. It’s just under the control of multi national profiteers at the expense of any and all.

Even MTG can have a sane point even if she horseshoed her way to it

With all the hot air that woman blows I’m surprised she’s not taking credit for climate change!

Now they don’t say hurricane anymore unless it’s sponsored by Coca-Cola. Hope you guys are enjoying the Big Storm.

There’s no such thing as bad exposure, so no, they should not get free advertising for catastrophies they’ve caused.

People who say that have never boycott something in their life.

If there was no bad publicity, PR firms would not exist.

Purdue pharmaceuticals got some pretty bad PR for the opioid crisis that got turned into settlement money, maybe we can finally use that model to get us some UBI as climate justice

No they should be sponsored by the politicians who refuse to aid those affected.
