WINDFALL

A fascinating investigation into how people around the globe are cashing in an increasingly warming world.

Like Michael Lewis on the financial crisis in THE BIG SHORT, McKenzie Funk shows us that we can best understand the catastrophe of global warming by following the money. WINDFALL looks at global warming as a market opportunity, and the currency of the market is water. Funk has spent the last six years reporting on the business of climate change around the globe, and explains how control of water and other resources reaps huge economic rewards. Those who benefit from these market opportunities will flourish as the planet warms, and the rest of us will pay an enormous price for their success. McKenzie Funk is a journalist whose work has appeared in Harper’s, National Geographic, Rolling Stone, GQ, Outside, and The New York Times. He is a National Magazine Award and Livingston Award finalist, and the winner of the Oakes Prize for Environmental Journalism.
