Global Weirding: Naming Climate Change Disasters After the Deniers

Naming weather disasters after the climate deniars who have caused them and are causing more of them, and worse to happen in the future is a great idea. And it could have been an extremely entertaining discussion, *if* the moderation policy was enforced in the Green section, particularly on climate change 'blogs (as opposed to straight news articles), like it is on every other topic.

Huffington Post does a lousy job of making this a conducive space for honest people to discuss this subject.
