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.

We're not going to have catastrophic climate change. Or at least, not catastrophic to us in the U.S. and other OECD countries. We will almost certainly have 2.2-2.7 C increases in temps....but while that will be bad for a lot of people in a lot of places, it's not likely to be all that terrible for us here in the U.S.

The Earth's climate goes through cycles regardless of what we do. The sun itself sees to that. Can mankind speed up something? Sure. But climate models disagree on what the magnitude is (it won't be 2.2, probably half that if at all).

And it won't be catastrophic because...human beings can actually adapt.
