I don't have any intention of spending time reading CB regarding climate change. How does having a knowledge of the debate impact one's income and salary? Do you believe one will be able to predict investment opportunities and changes in the market as a result of knowledge of the debate?

My experience shows most non-scientists to be woefully ignorant of the scientific method and process, to have glaring holes in their basic knowledge of scientific principles and observations and to be lacking in an understanding of scientific debates and studies. I include myself in that crowd very often, though, when I slow down and take the time to become informed I can usually follow a debate, even if I lack the requisite skill set to contribute to the debate in a constructive manner.
