Climate Activist Mikaela Loach: Name Hurricanes After Fossil Fuel Firms
www.democracynow.org
external-link
Jamaica remains in a state of emergency after being battered by Hurricane Melissa, one of the strongest Atlantic cyclones in history. The Category 5 storm slammed into Jamaica on Tuesday with 185-mile-per-hour winds, and the extent of the damage is not yet known because communication remains limited. Mikaela Loach, a Jamaican British climate justice activist, says the hurricane was “caused by the climate crisis,” and says fossil fuel companies are to blame. It’s important to “direct that anger towards people who are responsible,” Loach says, suggesting that hurricanes be named after oil executives.

    Again, nothing to do with boycotting the US. Fossil fuel firms exist in many countries.

      What a shit argument.

      Do fossil fuel firms exist in the US? Are the US ones a large part of the global number? Are you engaging in logical fallacy?

      All signs point to “yes”.

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don’t end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
