The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"But I suspect the risk factors cited in the report ("near-record warm ocean temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean, development of La Nina conditions in the Pacific, reduced Atlantic trade winds and less wind shear, all of which tend to favor tropical storm formation") have been pretty well known for a while, and so I am optimistic that the rates Berkshire obtains for this coverage are commensurate with the risk"

I don't believe they are "near records" unfortunately. We are off the charts right now and I don't think that naive usage of existing models is going to be a work out well. I suspect Berkshire has some great minds looking at the problem. I've never seen anything like this year, I thought I'd be dead before the climate started changing like this.
