Back in December, 2012, I posted this: Most Prescient New Yorker Cartoon – Ever.

The ever-alert Scott Bathgate picked up on this a few days ago: ‘Windfall’ explores the business of climate change.
Journalist McKenzie Funk spent six years traveling the world to report “Windfall,” his account of how governments and corporations — many of whom heavily contribute to the problem of global warming but balk at mandates to cut greenhouse gas emissions — are confronting climate change with engineering, money and lawyers.
Funk has written a fun book humanizing the problems of climate change, focused on the colorful entrepreneurs who see in an increasingly inhospitable world golden opportunities for indoor skiing, firefighters employed by insurance companies, Dutch-made seawalls and floating beaches for South Pacific resorts that otherwise might disappear.
Definitely “a fun book.”
