Research scientists have to fight for funding like everyone else in academia. It's a sad truth they must relate all research to global climate change to get any funding anymore. A gentleman in the BBC film 'The Great Global Warming Swindle' said something like this: If I wanted to do research on the nut-gathering habits of squirrels in Sussex, I wouldn't get any funding to do the research unless I added the phrase 'as it relates to global climate change.'

Besides, global warming is not something scientists can have a consensus about. That heavy things fall to the ground is something scientists can have consensus about.
