Before I lock this, it is interesting to follow a discussion of some very intelligent people and how each position gets rationalized/argued against/discounted/promoted, depending upon where one stands on the political spectrum.
I did a podcast with Theodore Roosevelt IV that will be airing soon. He is an investment banker who has the job of advising funds as to the investment opportunities related to climate, weather, disasters, and other natural events that can impact risk/returns. I thought we would talk mostly about hunting, fishing, and conservation, which did a lot of. Yet, when he started his discussion about climate, etc. and did so purely from an investment advisor standpoint, distilled of any political thoughts, it was interesting.
Yeah, everyone knows he is a Republican. He is fanatic about hunting and fishing. And, his daily business life for the last few decades has been traveling the world to research new energy investment options, impacts of natural events, insurance risks related to a changing climate, and advising large investment portfolios as to the blind spots in their approach.
I will be interested to see the response when this podcast goes up in the next couple weeks.
For now, the mud wrestling is over. The thread is locked, so the wrasslers can go clean up and find another thread to pollute.
