UNSW researcher Samuel Cornell said while an approach to name heatwaves after climate polluters may detract from the public messaging, there was a case to name heatwaves. But the Bureau of Meteorology said it had no plans to start naming heatwaves. "This is due to the complex nature of heatwaves," a spokesperson said, pointing to the differing levels of severity, simultaneous heatwaves and changing conditions.
