How can I cash in and make money off of global warming (the hype)?

Question

This is a free economy right? There is tremendous hype about it (whether or not it is rightful hype I don't know), and I figure that I should put my Mechanical Engineering degree to work and make money off of that hype.

Perhaps I could start a company that manufactures and installs "green" products?

I could make all kinds of money!!!

Answer 5

A spokesman for the Royal Society, Britain's leading scientific academy, said: "At present there is a small minority which is seeking to deliberately confuse the public on the causes of climate change.

"They are often misrepresenting the science, when the reality is that the evidence is getting stronger every day.

"We have reached a point where a failure to take action to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions would be irresponsible and dangerous."

Answer 6

Start an investment company that sells stock in "green" companies and carbon credits, then make a movie that shows how doomed we are because of global warming.  If you really want to up the stakes; get a bill passed that mandates everyone buys a product from one of the companies you represent.

Answer 9

Create a company that sells carbon credits and claims to plant trees back into the rain forest.  Make sure you travel all over the world in your private jet and charge a lot of money for your speaking fees.  Oh and heat your outdoor pool in the winter, while accepting your Nobel peace prize in Sweden.

Oh wait.  Al Gore's already doing that.
