- polotics 5y agoThis is so not true it's not even funny: do try and get funding for any kind of denialism in the 2000's or any kind of mitigation-study in the 2010's, you will get some kind ear from many on the conservative side (conservation of-self-destruction). The work of the IPCC has been a slow slog for lack of funding.
