[quote=Anonymous]Do you climate loons have to bring your death cult into literally every topic of discussion?

Here’s something you might find interesting. Berkshire Hathaway is the largest property and casualty insurance company by far the United States — they are exposed to tens of billions of dollars in losses in the event of catastrophic events such as hurricanes. Want to guess how much of a role climate change plays in their pricing decisions, according to their CEO Warren Buffett (who is a Democrat)? Exactly ZERO.

In fairness, he says this is because they write one-year policies and can increase pricing in the future if needed (unlike an individual’s home purchase, which is a much longer commitment). But he is putting his money where his mouth is and has stated that they accept some amount of randomness in terms of weather patterns — if they decided to hide out in a hole because of climate change, they would miss the opportunity to write billions of dollars in good premiums.  He states that they have not seen anything that indicates to them that climate change should change their business in any way.  And yet people like the OP are forsaking perfectly desirable properties because of a potential $5K expense for tree removal.  :roll: [/quote]
