Most individuals anticipate that the period of global warming will do much worse then good but this belief is triggered by their inability to be optimistic. This of course is the same inability that fluctuated after the World Wars and the Cold War. They failed to recognize the advances in technology, equipment and research. If we were to consider much more positive aspects of global warming and predict the possible progress of today's industries at that time then what would be the outcome?
Of course, this kinds of optimism requires the usage of logics and thus we must determine the potential behavior of humans during that time. It has been predicted by much scientific research and experiment that the temperature is most likely to reach the extremes during global warming which draws us to the conclusion that majority of individuals would prefer to relax in their homes rather then go out. One more possible consequence of global warming would be the increased tendency of individuals and companies to tint the windows of their homes and offices. So what companies will prosper during this agonizing period?
Mircrosoft(MSFT) : As most people would prefer to stay indoors they are much more likely to manipulate the computer to use the internet and Microsoft provides the equipment for them to do so. MSN revenues would also jump and contribute to the progress.
Google(GOOG) and Yahoo(YHOO) : Due to the increased usage of the lucrative internet it would be absolutely correct to assume that the use of these high earning search engines would grow and thus their revenue. It can be false to assume that the profit of all online businesses would increase as the usage of the internet would fluctuate as most people would turn to the internet to make money and thus increase competition.
General Electronics (GE) and all other energy and electrical stores: During global warming, more and more people would demand A.Cs and Heaters for their respective purposes and that is when companies like General Electronics must take action. In order to supply electricity to all the appliances a huge load of energy would be needed which could even prove a threat to the world. Therefore, it is necessary for energy related companies to consider this threat beforehand or there would be no or very little progress made.
House and car tinting companies: Everyone needs a little privacy right? No it's not because of privacy, it's because of the sun. Living in really intense temperature conditions would force billions to get their windows tinted as it helps cool things down some times.
It is important to look at these optimistic aspects rather then the harmful ones. Of course, without energy neither of the above companies would be able to flourish.
