摘要

Wagering on the weather might become a global business. Just ask Climate Corp., an underwriter of insurance plans for farmers.The San Francisco-based firm raised some $110 million from Google Ventures, Khosla Ventures, New Enterprise Associates and more than a dozen other investors after it launched in 2007 .Then, last November, the U. S. agriculture biotech giant Monsanto acquired Climate Corp. for nearly $ 1 billion.Farmers everywhere need help to cope with the effects of climate change. Backin 2009 the U.S. Global Change Research Program, a government umbrella group that coordinates federal research on climate change, noted that extreme weather linked to the phenomenon had already begun to hamper the country's agricultural yields. Starting in the 2030s, rising temperatures will shrinkyields worldwide by 2 percent each decade through the end of the century, according to the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
