No, funding of good research should not be shut down, but those making funding decisions should take a careful look at the quality of the proposals they review. I don’t believe much funding went to F&P work, but very large sums have gone to ‘climatologists’ with doubtful ethics and a hatred of openness, a strong indicator of bad science.
I agree with points made in your response.
In fact I’d go so far as to say that some people getting government funding for global warming sciences, should have been prosecuted when it was found out they participated in a hoax.
Instead they still get the bucks and are still pretty much respected. How does that work anyway?
As for your hatred comment, I don’t think it’s limited to openness. They hate quite a few things when you get down to it.
