Just think logically: climate change means some areas are growing dryer and others get a lot more rain, the sea levels will raise, temperatures change so the way people need to protect themselves from heat and cold are affected, crops rely on specific climates and predictable weather… All of this will mean decreasing markets for some products and increasing markets for others. And the need to decrease CO2 emissions will effect businesses as well.

Just pick a business you know something about and figure out how global warming will affect them.

The air conditioning business would find higher sales.

This is great. I can use the fact rainfall is an environmental opportunity for my chosen business (the coatings manufacture industry) as more people will have leaks in their roofs, so they would sell more roof coatings to fix the leaks.

Thanks. More rain results in more roof damage which causes leaks, then damages equipment/stock etc.

“Even though a warmer planet is expected to bring more precipitation, we humans may not be able to capture enough of it.

As the climate warms, more water will fall in the form of rain rather than snow, studies have shown. New modeling details how reservoirs will fill earlier than normal, and how snow will melt earlier in the year, altering the timing of runoff that water officials count on in many major reservoir systems.

When you change the seasonality of how rivers flow you are essentially putting the water runoff all into spring rather than being able to draw it out through summer,” says Tim Barnett of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “Mother Nature is not going to act like a reservoir as it has in the past and when the water comes out all at once there isn’t enough capacity to contain it.”

Coastal cities that are destroyed due to flooding from melting glaciers and ice caps become more difficult to live in, and thus have a very high cost of living.

The gun market will eventually collapse as people realize the only way for the human race to survive is cooperation.

You have quite a positive view on things, or are you being sarcastic? Most forecasts show an increase in war and civil strife as resources get increasingly scarce.
