how to exploit the coming apocalypse?
 
With everyone in denial about the current rapid climate change, there must be a big edge for investors somewhere. All I can think of is roofs being damaged by freakish winds and insurance costs rising. I suppose the fear-based markets will continue to grow: weaponry and armour, both physical and mental, and I'll seriously ponder what that implies before settling on a portfolio, but mostly I'm looking for the little things that mean nothing now but will suddenly become huge when people's minds reach various tipping points of realisation. Think for me, bagpuss.

I have been thinking about putting together "an investment guide for the end-of-the-worlder" mostly focused on peak oil and major economic contractions, but some climate change stuff too. maybe i'll get on that.

If Warren Buffett can't predict the climate, no one can.

Drugs, therapists, strange hobbies, I thought. Emotional shielding.

Investing based on apocalypse scenarios does not make a lot of sense to me. Global warming is a concern but the end of the world is no where near us. I believe you should instead take a look at what will people do to stop global warming. Any "clean technology" could be interesting. For example, a company named CO2 solution is working on a biological process that will transform CO2 in something safer for the environment. This is the kind of companies I would look into in your case.

You could also invest in uranium as nuclear energy appears to be a partial solution to the climate change and a lot of countries have started to realize that.
