Instead of funding a small army of climate scientists, I mean.

They seem to have reached this settled position (well, amongst themselves at least) and don’t seem to be progressing to the next stage, which is crunching the enormous amounts of data collected to predict what climate change means for our various population centres (ie real world implications).

So why keep funding large numbers of them?

That money could be better spend on applied science and engineering....ie the potential solutions to the problem.

It’s all about the allocation of scarce resources.

It appears that there is much to be learned from studying the climate. Information that can be very useful for the agricultural industry for example.

Understanding the climate has massive benefits imo.

As for the advancement of science and engineering, business is starting to fund that.
