1. 10 Industries That
Will Benefit From
Global Warming
Although global warming and climate change are projected to be enormously
disruptive in the future (and has already started to cause problems in some areas),
someone somewhere is profiting. A number of industries and nations are already
profiting from a world that is getting warmer…
Adapt-to-SurviveProducts1.
IDETechnologies, Snow Makers Incorporated, etcWho?
Companies are working on the creation of
independent generators, which will keep the lights on
if a storm knocks out the power
Artificial snowmakers can help skiers and
snowboarders to ignore the increasingly shorter snow
season and undependable weather that we’re
currently experiencing
We are seeing giant water desalination plants crop up
all over the world, which will be able to produce fresh
water when all we’re left with is the salty stuff
How?
Agricultural&GeneticEngineers2.
Monsanto, Oxitec, BASF, etcWho?
Modified seed has proven to fare better in overly hot or
cold climates and areas experiencing drought
Companies are also developing fungicides and seed
coatings, which make for more resilient plants overall
Engineered mosquitoes can help to fight the spread of
disease, making it safer to travel to other countries
How?
CarManufacturers4.
Ford, Honda, General Motors,Tesla, etcWho?
With the dwindling supply of oil causing fuel prices to
skyrocket, any company that manufactures hybrid cars
is going to profit
The added benefit of a vehicle that runs solely on
electricity is that it reduces your greenhouse gas
emissions
How?
ArcticNations3.
Greenland, Canada, Russia, etcWho?
Global warming will make fish, greener pastures and
water more plentiful in the world’s north, whilst drought
stricken nations will be forced to pay for these resources
With a warmer climate, real estate prices on land in these
countries is going to explode. Landowners and agents are
going to find themselves making a tidy profit, particularly
when selling to foreign investors
How?
EnergyEfficientProducts6.
Daikin Industries, UnitedTechnologies, Cavanta, etcWho?
With temperatures projected to rise (by as much as 3 to 5
degrees Celsius in some places), buildings without air
conditioning are going to need to install it. Plus, we’re
seeing the invention of more energy efficient units
Insulation has been invented that keeps buildings cooler
or warmer all on their own
We are seeing energy-from-waste facilities crop up all over
the world, which seek to create an alternative viable
energy source
How?
Construction5.
Flood Control America, Rayonier, etcWho?
The occurrence of worse weather disasters mean a need
for reconstruction, plus many governments are
introducing environmental laws that mandate‘greener’
buildings
Flood Control America have created an invisible flood
wall installation, which is a steel wall that can be quickly
thrown up with flood warnings then taken down and
stored when not needed
Rayonier are a timber supplier that is trying to produce
timber that doesn’t release carbon dioxide
How?
InsuranceCompanies8.
All State, State Farm, etcWho?
More frequent natural disasters (a projected side
effect of global warming) means that insurance
companies will be able to hike their rates up
significantly
Natural disasters are great advertising for insurance
companies, particularly as they put people in a state
of fear
How?
FinancialServiceFirms7.
Schroders, Summit Global Management, etcWho?
There have been an increasing number of investors
purchasing water rights and farmland, as drought and
food shortages can mean big profit in the future
How?
ShippingCompanies10.
Nordic Bulk Carriers, Rostom, etcWho?
Melting ice at the North Pole has allowed for summertime
trips along the“northern sea route”. This can help shipping
companies save up to $500,000 per trip, as the route is
shorter, and can also help them to avoid Somali pirates
As there is still some ice present along the route, ships
need to be accompanied by nuclear-powered icebreakers
(which come from, you guessed it, Russia)

Shell, BP, Rosneft, Gazprom Neft, Exxon Mobil, etcWho?
Melting ice will expose untapped oil reserves in the arctic,
making it easier for exploration and drilling (isn’t it ironic
that fossil fuels are the biggest contributors to global
warming?)
