There is a graph of the global temperatures in the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. It was an regular up and down wandering average over millions of years . The "global warming" portion of the graph was just a small portion of the same graph that was zoomed in on modern times. Basically they are trying to tell us all this "warming/climate change" is significant even though it is basically just noise.
The best part...the trend line shows the temperature going down not up. Of course this display was back when they were telling us were still in an ice age and all going to die and they needed more money to study the phenomena.
Basically I'm sure we could chart all the dangerous threats from weather/climate and discover a correlation with the funding levels in the scientific community.
Funding going down......"OH NO WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE FROM.......please insert crisis here [cold/heat/flooding/bees dying/asteroids/starvation/radiation]"
Funding going up ....... "Ok just keep it at these levels until I can retire.....er I mean find a solution to the crisis"
Basically I've got my bases covered I live far enough south another ice age will at most just force me to start wearing pants on a regular basis, and I'm far enough from the ocean to enjoy a boost in my property values if the oceans were to rise from global warming. I've got plenty guns for dealing with all the starving looters that either crisis will generate.
