Hi Kelly,
I don't think the article had an unbiased view on the issue of funding -
to compare funding that people receive from oil and gas companies with
funding that researchers receive after a peer reviewed process of research
proposals is like comparing apples with oranges. Of course many
Since any serious problem will generate concern and undoubtedly proposals to
deal with it, we should therefore be suspicious -- and if we are of a
sceptical nature, as Paul is, we will infer that serious problems are
fraudulent. Whech makes the world a much better place to live in!

If scientists were NOT interested in solutions, we would say the issue
needs more study. We would not be saying that global warming is occurring
and we need action. The funding is, in fact, shifting to applications. That
is as it should be.

There seems to be an assumption in Paul's logic that implies this
funding is obligatory and dispensed for the asking. Most successful
grantees receive less than 10% of the proposals submitted. Most
lesser mortals are far less successful. Each proposal takes months
to write and review.
