Surviving and Profiting from Climate Change

Thursday, January 15, 2015, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)

We will discuss adaptation to climate change which is unavoidable. The first TED Talk covers how we have adapted after climate disasters, like storms and heat waves, to minimize the damage from future events. The second TED Talk covers how some enterprises are planning to profit from climate change (and I don't mean renewable energy).

-------------------------------- Update 1/15/15 ----------------------

Here is a link to the book that was mentioned in the second talk above, Windfall: The Booming Business of Global Warming. In this book, McKenzie Funk uncovers plans to profit from the misery of climate change. As with his talk is is quite disturbing and he proposes no solutions.
