Grande Prairie Storm asked to change name by climate change activists

Happy April Fools’!

———————————

In a surprising twist, climate activists are calling on the Grande Prairie Storm to change their name—claiming “storm” is an outdated and aggressive term that offends modern weather sensibilities.

The group ‘Weather With a Conscience’ says the name promotes “violent meteorological language” and has offered eco-friendlier alternatives like:

• The Net Zero Heroes
• The Carbon Capture Crusaders
• The Composting Comets
• The Reusable Zambonis
• The Low-Impact Forecheckers

No word yet from the team, but insiders say they’re skating carefully around the issue—powered, of course, by renewable energy.
