An inordinate proportion of government and corporate research grants have been awarded to universities the past 15 years for a single specific purpose: to prove human activities and the burning of fossil fuels are the main driving mechanisms causing global warming, reports David Dilley. (1)
Many former research department heads, such as Dr. Reid Bryson (known as the Father of Climatology), openly state that research grants are driven by politics, and in order to receive a government grant you have to play the game.
According to Dr. William Gray, Emeritus Professor of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University, research departments must play ball and 'play by the rules' instituted by the grant system in order to secure climate grants. Playing by the rules means grant money for anthropogenic climate change is fairly easy to acquire, and all you have to do is apply for the advertised grant and deliver what the grant is requesting—which is to tie your research to human induced global warming. (2)
Almost no grant money is available for non-anthropogenic climate research. As a result of this biased grant system, there is very little research on natural cycles coming out of the universities.
Some specifics: Climate funding was $165 billion between 1993 and 2013. Of this, more then $35 billion went for 'climate science' projects seeking the signature of human influence; $2 billion to provide a National Climate Assessment to Congress; and the remaining 89% to government agencies and industries that claim to support the theory of anthropogenic global warming. (3) Being a skeptic leaves you out in the cold.
The IPCC and most anthropogenic believers want to maintain the belief that global warming during the past 100 years has been caused by human activity alone, and this is why most of their climate talks and lectures do not even mention prior global warming cycles. Dilley talks about a lecture of his that was canceled because the organizers felt 'some people in the audience may feel uncomfortable.' He also adds, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warned employees not to talk about natural cycles. (2)
