Jeremy Grantham, who's predicted every modern financial bubble, has a strategy he says investors should use to profit from fighting climate change.

That partially stems from Grantham's expectation that the clean-energy shift will be rife with inefficiencies ready to be exploited.

But that's the simplistic way of looking at it. Grantham says there are a handful of other"significant" benefits his suggested climate-change strategy can offer. They can be broken down into four main categories, each of which is outlined below:Grantham says one of the main selling points of his climate-change strategy is how decoupled it is from stock-market returns.

"We expect to see periods where a climate change strategy performs well in a weak market and vice versa," he said."If we told you we had identified an asset class that provided equity-like returns, perhaps better, in a manner quite different from the broad equity market, you would jump at the opportunity."Even the Trump administration concedes that climate change is bound to take a bite out of the economy over the rest of the century.

All of the forces outlined above are great and all, but the ultimate objective of Grantham's strategy is to make money. To that end, he's appended this pillar of his strategy, which involves finding bargains in the investing universe he's already laid out.

L.A. takes climate change fight to the streets by pouring cooler pavementLos Angeles is taking the climate change fight to the streets with plans to cover 1,500 city blocks with cool pavement, a heat-reflecting asphalt coating, over the next 10 years. Try “not killing” new reservoir projects over silly shit and you won’t need the coating. You can use water misters on all of the roads and sidewalks. L.A. is full of environmentalists, yet there is litter everywhere. In the streets, along the freeways and waterways. But let’s leave the litter and pour concrete, it’s environmentally friendly...right. Clean up the trash. And in 5 years, we will learn that the coating is damaging to the environment, causes cancer, and is killing wildlife. Anyone else ever notice that environmentalists trying to 'fix' the environment almost always end up destroying it? Stop fucking with nature.
