selling insurance connected to sea level rise. I recently read The Water Will Come: Rising Seas, Sinking Cities, and the Remaking of the Civilized World by Jeff Goodell and it strongly influenced me.

The world IS warming. Sea levels ARE rising. No matter how much anyone tries to deny that, they are wrong.

I think the most interesting part of the book is where it points out that savvy real estate people have already understood sea level rise and are quietly pulling investments out of coastal areas.

Me, I live very far inland, in New Mexico.
