David W. Stookey

“Climate-Proof” examines how global warming is threatening your personal finances, your future lifestyle and your family’s dreams. It's less about drought, more about rising prices, threats to your job, and the endangered value of your home. Less about sea-level rise, more about your taxes, fees and insurance costs.

Filled with ways to protect your wallet and your life plans, “Climate-Proof” highlights actions around the home and in your neighborhood, in your career and investments, and with your children. Stookey places special emphasis on acting ahead of the crowd and finding a well-protected hometown.

The book forms a gateway to free detailed measures, available online, of how well each town in the United States is likely to climate-proof its residents.
