I'd say we go one better and let India pay to do the research. Why should
our economy/taxpayers always have to fund these lunatics in their concocted
scientific studies. If it is such a big problem then other countries should
be willing to foot the bill right?

Maybe the "government" is hinting that all research funding will be
outsourced to India, to save on expenses?

The Union of Concerned Scientists has to complain about the governments
undermine the quality of the scientific advisory system. If they can't
convince the government fund their cooked up global scientific problems
they will be out of a job. The problem is, when they need more money
they just cook up a new problem. Viola, instant job security.

Now what would Wirt say? That's right, "Lordy".
Despite their claims to the opposite, the Union of Concerned Scientists
are
about as partisan as one can get. One could call them the Union of
Concerned Socialists really. If you check their web site you will find
an
organization that believes that government control is the answer to
every
problem. I believe they can accurately be described as "watermelons".
