    I'm recalling CM's first response to this thread . . .

    . . .

    I post the things I come across somewhere else . . . and lately try more to limit my comments

    If there are any 'politics' involved, then it might be in my choices of what to share . . . so not always my words. Someone else's --- if I can



    To put it Another Way

    You can respond to me if you like --- but I would ask any Thoughtful Person to respond to what I present . . .

    . . . to consider:

    How much CO2 a gallon of gasoline produces . . . regardless of the vehicle

    The measurable reduction in the number of plants and animals out-and-about --- and what their contribution to our environment is . . . or isn't

    Is it smarter to control guns? or bullets? Cars? . . . or gasoline?

    And when a certain Exxon physicist says that his employer was considering the effects of CO2 on the environment 40 years ago, what would you make of that? (Uhhh --- and I'm not a physicist)


    You can always shoot the messenger. Or? . . .

    . . . consider?


    As for my 'Espo-Resto gas guzzling 911 that emits more than a 100 new cars' . . .

    . . . I try to make up for it by driving a 52 MpG turbo-diesel --- used, of course

    And, yet . . . here you are. I suppose I should appreciate your responding

    Unfortunately, it's usually impolitic comments that spoil threads


    So --- consider . . .

    . . . what would a Thoughtful Person make of your post?



    Thanks for writing

    I don't think this thread is political, just a public awareness message. Sort of like the caloric intake label on a food item.
    Although all these articles are meant to make "US" feel guilty while huuuge emitters carry on.

    eg. We are made guilty to pretend that we are actually recycling plastic while Coke and the rest pump plastic bottles out which will eventually end up being shipped to africa from our recycling bins.
    Quiz: How much packaging do you need for Amazon to ship you a keychain?
    I can guarantee that no one will be able to drive a 2023 Tesla 50 years from now.

    this year i went the eco-friendlier way...the red bling bling on the "tree" already went back on the attic to be reused next season and the paper wrapping served to cushion goods i shipped to the US.

    Insurance

    I had a business Prof ask this question, once

    'What's the difference between gambling --- and insurance?'

    His answer?

    'In gambling --- you assume the risk

    In insurance --- you pay someone to take the risk for you
    '


    Well, it looks like the insurance companies are taking an old-fashioned look at their risks:
    https://report.firststreet.org/9th-N...ance-Issue.pdf

    And if you live in California? --- the 5th largest economy on the planet . . .



    . . . they're giving that risk back

    '. . . The state that is the most active in terms of climate mitigation policy (CA.gov, 2022), does not allow insurance companies to account for the increased risk from climate change when calculating premiums . . .'

    I know-I know --- climate, schlimate

    But whatever you wanna call it, the Insurance Companies see what the associated costs are

    And as we all know, economics will trump politics --- and opinions about either . . . every time



    Just wait 'till they get to Florida
