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.

Here is the quote I couldn’t find earlier. From 2017 meeting:

"I have not seen anything yet that would cause me to change the way we look at evaluating quakes, tornadoes, hurricanes by atmosphere. Now, that may happen some day,"

It is very interesting to me that it seems he now believes that day has come.

In that year’s letter he also wrote that climate change had not up until then "produced more frequent nor more costly hurricanes nor other weather-related events covered by insurance."
