Who is Funding Extravagant "Climate Change" Research and Entertainment? (extremist, conspiracy)

[jbgusa]

Climate research is supposed to be for the good of the world. Scientists are supposedly toiling to ensure we don't drown or burn up. I always assumed they rode their bicycles to work. Likewise I assumed that world leaders exercised discipline and self-sacrifice when attending to these grave responsibilities.

I began to lose my innocence as I discovered that Bon Jovi and Elton John entertained at the Paris Climate Accords conference in 2015, where Obama generously gave away billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars. I read, in the New York Times, an article to the effect that Dire Climate Warning Lands With a Thud on Trump’s Desk (link). The media seems to love ones that throw a good party even if it is at our expense.

The article references the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (link to website). I was curious about who and what they were. This is a picture of their headquarters:





The website describes them as follows:

The historic buildings of the institute and its high-performance computer are located on Potsdam’s Telegraphenberg campus. The institute is a member of the Leibniz Association and receives core funding of about 11 million euros from the German federal government and the Federal State of Brandenburg. A similar amount of additional project funding is raised from external sources in competition with other institutions, a large part coming from grant programmes of the European Union.

The funding seems awfully generous considering the immediate real needs of the world's people. Do Elton John, Paul McCartney and Bon Jovi have concert dates there? As to the question raised in the subject line, in that case, European taxpayers. But the U.S. is the sugar daddy that pays their defense bill so that they have lots of money to waste.

Follow the Money

[bawac34618]

When all credible scientists and scientific organizations are saying one thing and you have fringe religious extremists and conspiracy theorists claiming another, which one do you believe?

[greywar]

Yawn. And meanwhile thousands of climate scientists with no real economic motive continue to state that this is a real issue.


When you talk about following the money, did you even try to follow the money for the "studies" that say climate change is not a issue? Thats where the money is. You just have to sell your soul out.

The OP said nothing about whether climate change was real, or if real anything we could do about. All of the remedies on the table deal primarily if not exclusively with redistribution.
