Tom is managing partner of ArcTern Ventures, a new father, sits on a number of boards, and finds it hard to believe we’re still having this conversation.

"If you've ever wondered just how dire a threat to civilization as
we know it global warming is, this book will open your eyes ...
[Tom Rand] wants to retool and reclaim capitalism. Profit isn't an
ugly word in his vocabulary; he simply wants profit to align with
creating a livable planet. And he spends much of the book
convincingly arguing how this might be done." -- Winnipeg Free
Press
"Rand's latest is an academically rigorous text that presents
undeniable science proving climate disruption is the world's
foremost problem ... Most impressive is Rand's understanding of the
global financial system and how much it fears market disruption due
to rapid climate change. This book tackles a number of different
topical issues, and it's easy to imagine it being required reading
at many colleges and universities." -- Booklist
"Read this if you want to learn where to invest, which industries
will have a robust future, and those that are in decline. For the
thinking person The Case for Climate Capitalism is filled with
practical ideas on how to fit your dwelling for the future, both
politically and pragmatically ... Though The Case for Climate
Capitalism is brief, it is brilliant in outlining the thinking that
must accompany changes in process, metrics, and measures to achieve
enough of a reduction in harmful gases to sustain us all." -- The
New York Journal of Books
