The original idea of helping scientists with grants had the best of intentions then it devolved into the usual slush fund for parasites. Average IQ types walking around saying 'Anyone got an idea for something to research - gotta have some money for travel next year'. And the response? "I hear big grants are given for 'climate change' research ...and few strings attached. Almost no oversight..."
Yup.
Those elitists who perverted it all also still have their freedom/pensions.
More crimes, no justice.
