I would like to see climate research funded, but it needs to be de-politicized and stop being used to push fear propaganda and sinister policies.

They used it to flat out destroy the economies in much of Europe, while somehow China and India were ignored despite being orders of magnitude bigger problems, according to their own narrative.

If any of the above were honest, there would have been blanket trade restrictions and sanctions on China and India so quickly it would make your head spin.

The research is supposed to establish the facts that politicians then interpret?

I think, especially in the US, there's no shared starting point anymore. Which makes it very hard for people with different opinions to have a conversation. Not funding science can only make that worse
