Being an American, I'm wondering how I can capitalize on this worldwide phenomenon. Take Miami Beach. Oodles of money, EXPENSIVE homes, and the place is getting soggier by the year. Ocean water is coming UP the storm drains into the streets. Solar powered water pumps? Inflatable water barriers? Wet doggie alarms? There has to be something.

But I like passive income now that I'm part of the leisure class. Dividends, rents, growth equities, that's for me.

Perhaps it's time for a catastrophic climate change hedge fund. Heck, I would be taxed at lower rate than my secretary. 8^)

I like it. Spoken like a true entrepreneurial, free market American.
How can I make money on this?
Maybe we can convert those Florida houses into houseboats. Start now and when the sea level gets to your neighborhood, just float yourself above it.
You"ll be then envy of the hood!

Jersey Shore houses being rebuilt after superstorm Sandy are being put up on stilts. But that's too much work this incipient geezer.

Maybe a website selling Soggy Doggie WiFi alarms with a built-in GPS locator would work.

Combine it all. Doggie floatation vest, GPS/EPIRB locator, WiFi alarm. Put a loop on the back for a leash and you can walk your dog and be ready for global sea level rise. Might even include some pockets for doggie emergency food rations to pull in the "prepper" market!
