I hope this catches on. I have trouble breathing in extreme heat and naming heatwaves seems like a good way to retaliate.

Making them pay and maybe even serve time would be a better way, but it's at least a beginning.

I'm more of a strip them of all their possessions and rid their genetic legacy from the gaze of the universe sort of guy but I can be reasonable.

I'm sure they are gonna cry all the way to the bank while you still line thier pockets out of necessity.

Companies aren't people. Hurting thier feelings isn't effective. Hurting budgets is.

This is bang on. Budgets are all they understand - everything else is lies or a smokescreen (marketing, green washing etc)
