It’s time to start naming extreme weather after the real culprits—big polluters burning fossil fuels! For decades, hurricanes have been named after people, but climate change, fueled by coal, oil, and gas, is making these storms and other disasters more intense. Let’s hold them accountable! Sign the petition and demand that extreme weather events are named after the biggest climate polluters: https://lnkd.in/gYPKXfdi (linked in our LinkTree) #NameThePolluters #ClimateAction #HoldThemAccountable #ExtremeWeatherSZN

"8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce." - Noah Bergren, meteorologist from the Fox affiliate in Orlando Florida. The earth is insisting we change immediately. We can have a better future than this! Act NOW. #ClimateCrisis
