Alarmists Bemoan Climate Research Funding Freeze
Breitbart ^ | 02/15/2025 | Thomas D Williams PHD

Posted on 02/15/2025 10:58:16 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Alarmists are crying to heaven for vengeance after President Trump slashed taxpayer funding of climate change research.

The comically named Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) passed by Democrats in 2022 โ€œdirects hundreds of billions of dollars worth of investments to climate and environmental justice projects,โ€ notes Grist, a green advocacy publication, and activists fear that the river of free money may dry up under Trump.

โ€œWhat it looks like to me is an absolute full-on brakes moment for any further climate advances at least in the short term,โ€ said Gabriel Filippelli, the executive director of the Environmental Resilience Institute at Indiana University, whose $5 million federal grant has been suspended.

They just can’t bear the fact that the climate can just climate on without them or their hot air.

I thought these people were 100% certain in their conclusions, why is continued research needed?

No need for them to get hot under the collar

These are the cold hard facts

God designed the climate and He made 4 seasons

Do not worry, if your research is so worthy, you will find a private sponsor.

My climate change story.....In 2006 I was in the audience for the graduating class at Tulane University in New Orleans. Bill Clinton and Bush Sr were the speakers. Bush gave an interesting speech about things he had done and seen. Clinton started by saying Hurricane Katrina was caused by global warming that started that decade which means it didn’t exist when he was President. He said we would now see constant massive hurricanes because of it. His sycophants in the audience went nuts and cheered for him like he was a rock star. I stayed seated and farted in his direction.

The flow of funding, or the lack of such funding, has no impact whatsoever on the actual mechanics of weather or climate. But it has a HUGE impact on the parasites that have come into existence since all the whole “weather control” schemes have been “developed” with the aid of a number of unsupported assumptions and some very bad mathematics wrongly applied in the name of “science”.

And one of the very worst assumptions was that carbon dioxide is a “pollutant” that must be controlled and eliminated at all costs. CO2 is plant food, and plants are practically at starvation levels now.

Why is this totally unscientific assumption even allowed to stand? Water vapor has a vastly greater impact on weather and climate than carbon dioxide ever could, even if the concentration of CO2 was a hundred times the current level.

Still need research on “settled” science. They should have a clock ticking off the days and hours we have left. They should be moving to the mountains to avoid the overflowing seas. Bloomington, Indiana is about 770 feet in elevation. They may be saved after all...

Carbon dioxide is needed in the blood to be part of the chemical reaction to DEtoxify the ammonia our bodies make from metabolized proteins. Part of the UREA CYCLE. Otherwise, the accumulated Ammonia would kill us.

I was waiting for this!

“Critics have long complained of the enormous amount of funding bias generated by government-sponsored research into climate change, where results are engineered to match desired outcomes.

As economist Stephen Moore has written, โ€œ[T]he tidal wave of funding does reveal a powerful financial motive for scientists to conclude that the apocalypse is upon us.โ€

โ€œNo one hires a fireman if there are no fires. No one hires a climate scientist (there are thousands of them now) if there is no catastrophic change in the weather,โ€ he added.”

Sorry to say this, but it’s “Arctic”, not “Artic”, and there are no penguins in the Arctic.

Taxpayers should not be funding someone's hobby.

Would these whiners be the same ones who passed a $7.5 billion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to build 500,000 charging stations for electric vehicles? Now, four years later, the money has been spent and we now have 7 new charging stations. Yep...you read that right, seven. The new ones you do see are not because of the BIL boondoggle, but were built with private expenditures.
