National Science Foundation grants with the term "climate change" in the public summary are down 40 percent this year. Some scientists say they are avoiding the term, hoping to protect funding for their climate change research.

Which suggests to me that for years these same people have added the term "climate change" to federal grant applications in much the same way a hunter adds doe urine as bait in order to attract federal dollars. Proving, again, that that these "climate change" scientific studies were nothing more than doe urine for federal dollars.

What a scam.

More proof of Trump’s correct conclusions. After all, if these “scientists” were really onto something, they could actually 1) relate their conclusions to unchanged data, and 2) produce models that came close to actually predicting something.

Bad science: friend of liberals.
No science: friend of liberals and leftists.

"If we all have to go off in different directions to keep the science moving forward, we lose that community," says Dietze. "We won't gather and work together."

1) This is a tautology -- if we go off in different directions, we won't gather and work together. That's not really deep.
2) The claim seems to be that scientists cannot communicate clearly if the term "climate change" is not part of their daily vocabulary. Really? Are they that limited? It's cliché. It's a buzzword. Get over it. Do some real science.

Without even reading this NPR article, just skimming thru it ... all I can say is Schadenfreude .... 'Scientists' no longer see a payday from Algore and his ilk to deliver the goods, and so must go back to their usual mundane jobs: studying various Fungi in a Petri dish ....

It was sad to watch the prostitution of science in the last decade.

It got to the point where EVERY paper would explain the results of an investigation, and then in the conclusion would say: “Blah, blah, blah... because of climate change”

And who can blame them? unless the paper’s conclusion contained a negative result attributable to climate change, unless it had the magic words: “because of climate change”, it would not have any hope of being approved and published.

It’s pretty easy now to go back and regurgitate statements these same grant getters made 10 years ago and see that they were false. Now they want more money to state lies again? No thanks. Just as an exercise in what I’m saying, watch “Inconvenient Truth” again and this time take note of the dates they give that all these disasters are supposed to happen. Then look for the reports of drowning people to see if they have come true. Look for the temps predicted in certain places. It’s becoming clear, even for the nitwits that this is a scam.

“In the scientific community, we’re very cautious people,” says Katharine Hayhoe, the director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech. “We tend to be quite averse to notoriety and conflict, so I absolutely have seen self-censorship among my colleagues. [They’ll say] ‘Well, maybe I shouldn’t say it that way, because whatever funding organization or politician or agency won’t appreciate it.’”

LOL

Actually, admitting that they hype this BS to get more funding is about as true of a statement as they ever have made.

These political nitwits with PhD’s aren’t “scientists”. They are thieves and frauds who have perverted science into their political weapon in order to keep the grant money flowing into their fetid coffers. They should be fired and arrested for fraud.

"This is the biggest environmental challenge in human history," says Mote.

I wonder if this twit has considered the European Neanderthals who survived the last Ice Age? I think the Neanderthals can be considered human since we carry their genes.

The change in language appears to be driven in part by the Trump administration's open hostility to the topic of climate change.

Ah, the Left's intentional misstating of a situation. The Trump Administration is not hostile to "Climate Change", but rather the whole Anthropogenic Climate Change Money Hustle. The jig is up, he's on to ya.

It’s not even real science, they are being funded to look for weather. Any weather is proof. Then they apply their silver tongue in the write-ups of said weather.

Science has become a contest for grant money. Finding truth is not even a priority anymore.

I suggest that people start using the more scientifically correct phrase,

Solar Induced Climate Self-Adjustment

Please completely remove all public funding for climate science. It is a fraud.

If “climate change” is “settled science” supported by consensus, then why is further research necessary?
