While others debate whether the climate is changing, entrepreneurs worldwide are already seizing economic advantages to prosper from global warming. Funk explores, for example, how an Israeli company provides technology to create snow in the Austrian and German Alps. Also examined is the rush to acquire rich farmland in the Sudan and other countries by investors who hope to corner the market on farm products as once fertile areas suffer desertification from rising temperatures. Funk's is a somewhat mercenary viewpoint presented in an engaging and humorous text.
