You know how when we have a storm, we give it a name like Storm Boris or Chandra or something? Well, we're now doing the same thing for heat waves, but we're naming them after fossil fuel companies. And as this is the second heatwave of the year, it starts with the letter B for BP. Letter A stood for Aramco. So let me tell you a fun fact about BP. You know the concept of a carbon footprint? You might think that this was developed by some kind of environmentalist. Well not quite. It was actually developed as part of a $200 million marketing and PR campaign by BP to try and make the general public feel guilty about our everyday life choices, rather than, say, get angry at the people actually producing all of the fossil fuels in the first place.
