Many people would agree that Stocks, Real Estate and Business are among the key available vehicles for building wealth. And like any good investor smartly exercising such vehicles we also make viable effort to protect our assets from loss. For this reason, I encourage you to closely consider the following loss prevention strategy as a means to protect all of those things which you value.
No, I’m not trying to sell you life insurance. But a very important issue has come to spotlight that can have a disasterous impact on your portfolio. Take notes.
Global Warming is the big monster on the horizon, and shake a stick at it all you want, unless you make an effort NOW, no manner of economic manuevering is going to stop it from devouring the basis of your capital.
No captial. No investment. Pay Attention.
Imagine a world one degree warmer than it is today. In this world polar bears are near extinction because their natural icy habitat is melting away. In this world ski resorts are 3,000 feet higher than they used to be, and well there aren’t any roads up there. In this world bird migrations start later in the winter or not at all. Big deal? No big deal.
Image a world that is two degrees warmer than it is today. In this wolrd much of the world’s ice is rapidly moving into the oceans raising the sea level by 1 or 2 feet. In this world two thousand islands in Indonesia are innundated. In this world thousands of animals, birds and mammals become extinct within a 10 year time span. In this world extreme weather frequently terrorizes coastal cities. Big deal? No Big deal.
Imagine a world that is four degrees warmer than it is today. In this world deserts rapidly engulf what was once farmland in various regions of China causing mass death via starvation. In this world a combination of global warming and global dimming cause regular heavy rainfall and mass mudslides in tropical regions. In this world, warmer temperature supercharge bacterias like the plague, while ancient viruses escape their ice prisons killing millions. In this world the sea level has risen by 5 to 10 feet. Big deal?
Shall I continue?
Now while all of these things seem increasingly horrendous, how will they have an impact on your investment directly?
A smart investor would bet on industries that would respond to these types of events, and you could possibly make some good money. In fact many sites already point to the trend of investors ‘betting on global warming’. Eventually, however, the effects of mass protesting, histeria, deaths and so forth would bring a crippling blow to the world’s economies.

You can start Now too by taking a look at the (List of Easy Things You Can do to Stop Global Warming *post this later)
And you can also download my Ultimate Investment Wallpaper !
I’m trying to imagine today 30 degrees warmer. Negative 4 degrees hurts my fingers so bad, it started to feel like they were burning… in a fire. I dunno about this Global Warming mumbo jumbo.
Ah it doesnt quite work that way — if it were 30 deg warmer overall you wouldnt have the current temp to begin with.
You should post that “List of Easy Things You Can do to Stop Global Warming.” Or I could write it. I already wrote up a list of “Greener Home Rules” which I printed up and posted in my kitchen to our environmental impact. Hmmm…. anyways, I’m interested in the ideas you have.
Oh ^_^, yeah I almost forgot about this one. See and there you are keeping me in check haha. Ok ok, I’ll write that article.. or you could write one too and we could compare =) BUT it wont be til later this week!
