"David Vitter is literally picking boats up out of the water and tossing them onto the land"
This could be a line heard on the primetime news if the activist group 350 Action succeeds in their effort to name future storms after global warming deniers, the Raw Story reported.
The group, accompanied by advertiser Barton F. Graf 9000, suggested the World Meteorological Association should name super storms after members of the government that dispute the consequences of climate change.
The video, posted on Climatenamechange.org, shows a montage of people with the same names as a past storm. "Sandy," is a sweet-looking elderly lady winning a bingo game. The site also has an app where people can see which of their Facebook friends share their name with a storm.
A recent study concluded greenhouse gas emissions could contribute to a rise in storms of between 10 and 40 percent by the year 2100, an MIT press release reported. The storms could also ravage the world with 45 percent more power.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said they believed with 90 percent certainty that humans were responsible for climate change, their most recent draft summary suggest this number has risen to 95 percent, the Washington Post reported.
"Human influence on climate caused more than half of the observed increase in global surface temperature from 1951-2010," the report said, according to the Post. "There is high confidence that this has warmed the ocean, melted snow and ice, raised global mean sea level, and changed some climate extremes, in the second half of the 20th century. "
A study by the Alfred Wegener Institute said rising carbon dioxide levels will not only affect the air, but the ocean as well. When carbon emissions are absorbed into the ocean it causes pH levels to drop, which could be bad news for a variety of marine species.
Republican representative and former presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann doesn't agree (according to past statements) that carbon dioxide is a threat to the terrestrial and aquatic environments.
"Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't one such study because carbon dioxide is not a harmful gas, it is a harmless gas," Bachmann said, according to PolicyMic.
350 Action included Bachmann on their list of politicians that should have a storm named after them.
"If you value your life take shelter from Michelle Bachmann," a character in the 350 Action video said.
