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.

You're hanging your hat on climate risks, when you, apparently, and so many other climate worriers ignore the context of climate warming, which lets the matter of why we should be worried at all go by the wayside.

Minor things, of which I've posted before, like how we're cooler today than the geologic warming trend of our planet 11k years after the last glaciation; atmospheric CO2, the GHG about which so much worrying is done, has been much higher in past epochs, and the climate was both much warmer in those periods than today and life was lush, and much colder than today, and life was...not lush; and ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica indicate that atmospheric CO2 rises occur contemporaneously with or after planetary warming has begun.

Then, buried at the end of your response comes your--all too typical of others in these sorts of discussions--ad hominem remark. That greatly deprecates your seriousness.
