If electric cars and clean energy aren’t enough to prevent rising oceans, then there’s money to be made in sea walls, indoor agriculture, and emergency housing.
Consider what might happen to food production. As precipitation patterns change and oceans become more acidic, outdoor environments will become less reliable and “more and more intolerant for crops or fish,” according to Liqian Ma, managing director at Cambridge Associates in Boston. Demand will increase for technologies that allow indoor agriculture and even aquaculture.
