Document summary
An examination of the many claims and counter-claims being made in the public debate about climate change science. For most of 2010 climate ‘skeptics’ have launched a determined assault on climate findings accepted by the majority of the scientific community making it difficult for people to form their own opinions. This is problematic because how the public’s views are shaped is critical to future political action on climate change. For investors there are huge implications. The science is the essential foundation of the whole climate change investment thesis, so navigating the scientific debate is key for investors in this space.
