Naoise Dolan: Storm Donald, Storm Vladimir, Storm Benjamin... let's name extreme weather after real climate culprits
Briefly

As storm season approaches, meteorological organizations such as Met Éireann, the UK Met Office, and the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute have kicked off the annual public naming process for storms. This initiative allows the public to engage in meteorological traditions. Meanwhile, discussions around climate change are prompting campaigners to advocate for greater accountability for corporations whose activities exacerbate extreme weather events. The move reflects a growing intersection of environmental activism and corporate responsibility discussions, questioning why accountability should be focused solely on corporations.
The public can submit suggested names for upcoming storms, a process undertaken by Met Éireann, the UK Met Office, and the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute.
In the context of climate change, campaigners argue that firms contributing to extreme weather should be held accountable, prompting debates on the implications for corporate responsibility.
