How Speculators will profit from Properties destroyed by Climate Change

Speculators could look at Hauer’s Climate Change Migration map; now at the Guardian’s website, to see where to buy. A fascinating strategy will be to short coastal real estate or companies invested in coastal real estate such as Disney.

Stock pickers might buy Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS); which obviously owns a lot of land around Orlando, as a Climate Change Migration hedge. To explain, Orlando is the home of Walt Disney World.

Likewise, speculators could short companies heavily invested in expensive waterfront real estate in Miami or office buildings in Manhattan. A short term strategy could be to buy up properties in Miami after flooding then sell them when the weather gets good.
