And climate change denial is largely the preserve of the ignorant.

Few of us will be investing in buggy whips for instance nor I hope in too many coal mines. OTOH many of us will one way or another be investing in the likes of Tesla. As to what will happen to the likes of Shell? I do not know. It is still a big important company and I cover my back by continuing to invest but only within a diversified portfolio.
In other words, whilst I am aware of changes taking place, I do not feel that I am in a position to see the future and tend to make changes at the stock specific level as and when it seems to me to be required.
I think it is a fair question though, especially if you have a multi decade investment horizon.

We have to recognise that coal is essential for some metallurgical processes, and that oil is a valuable feedstock for the production of many plastics. Miners will have to deliver the raw materials needed for batteries, semiconductors, etc.
Tesla is an overblown hyped up outfit. Their ideas of autonomous driving are crazy. They might fit interstate highways, but Devonian lanes with high hedges are way out of their class. Currently it is a cult.
Global warming theories are largely spouted by people who are paid to produce them. Somebody will no doubt put the cold April down to the lack of aircraft putting CO2 into the atmosphere. But that probably caused the warm March, because of less water vapour in the atmosphere.
