GW + SLR = RG,
where
GW = global warming
SLR = sea level rise, and
RG = research grant.

On the other hand, land subsidence and subsequent flooding due to seismic activity yields no grant.

I've been there with research grants. Gotta use those buzz words.

Agreed, then their is this:

Increased agricultural production means more water buffalo to harvest the rice and carry it to market, leading to more cattle flatulence, leading to global warming.
