Windfall: The Booming Business of Global Warming by McKenzie Funk

4.0

A good read, interesting in the breadth of industries he explores, and interviews from different perspectives, definitely worth a read/listen for someone interested in green jobs or climate change in general. I liked the discussions of private fire companies, and the brief history lesson there, as well as the exploration of patenting geoengineering ideas with Myrvhold's Intellectual Ventures. The farm land purchases in advance of climate change reminds me of the old speculative land purchases trying to predict railroads, and I wonder if these weather models will be more or less accurate? Overall, interesting and somewhat inspiring - there are definitely businesses to be built in anticipation of these changes.
