Maybe a stage play version of “An Inconvenient Truth” with Rick Sanchez as Gore.

They have money to burn, don’t they? Our money.

A brief look at Fulbright, Rockefeller and other MAJOR granting organizations, including NEH, NEA, NSF, etc., shows that the AGW agenda is alive and well, and funding ITSELF with tax & millionaire-orchestrated monies.

All over the world.

No pressure. It’s do or die. Probably literally.

This award is outrageous. The NSF is funding political speech. Regardless of your position on climate change, the NSF has no business funding theatre productions about climate change. No doubt this theatre production will be propaganda, similar to Al Gore’s Inconvient Truth.

For that amount I could buy a really nice mass spectrometer and do some useful work.

Maybe our congress critters were right in saying the NSF was too political and they could do a better job of handing out research money.

The corruption of science continues.

Talented (and honest) science students could use that money for college scholarships!

I just hope their production includes at least $500k of interpretive dance!
