that are given grants to prove global warming is real agree that global warming is real.

This is a little more complicated than that.....You would be surprised that only a fraction of scientists who study climate, oceans and the atmosphere actually Study or necessarily care about climate change. Most of them are doing basic climate science which would be useful for various reasons in the future....Many modelers are largely unconcerned about CO2 and don't solve cases with CO2 in it....They are more interested in accounting for solar forcing, the ocean-atmosphere interaction and so on....incredibly difficult problems on their own without some CO2 nonsense...But in applying for grants, it is convenient to make some extraneous comments about trying to study impact climate change to have a better chance of getting the grant. But they are still doing good science. But this is Always the case when basic science is concerned, you often have to play to choir to get funds to do good research in basic science...

I don't have any actual direct knowledge of the type of study or real versus public motives of climate scientists. My observation is just based on good old fashoined human nature. I read a figure of something like $36B has been handed out by politicians and spent on climate research. I am pretty sure that GW proponent politicians are the ones who are pushing this funding since a positive finding holds the ultimate promise of nearly unlimited power over everybody's lives. For that kind of money, you can really count on having a large and reliable group of folks who will "agree" with you.
