Just a point: this whole Fox-News-generated idea that scientists are making tons of money by skewing results to support climate change is utterly laughable. Rubbish. Fox knows that if they say some such garbage, they will have loads of uninformed followers (or “dittoheads,” if you want to include Rush Limbaugh in this crowd) who will repeat it. The truth is that the only way climate change might affect what scientists do it that some grants might specify that climate change is an eligible or preferred study topic. GRANTS. And it sucks that scientists feel compelled to pursue research based on what might get funded, it really does. But you know what grants cover? Research. It’s not as if any scientist is able to give themselves bonuses, big salaries, or perks from these grants. Don’t believe it? Track one.
