Grant committees at Harvard and other universities are about as likely to fund research suggesting that global warming is caused by anything other than humans as they are to vote Republican. It is not surprising that Willie Soon sought funding elsewhere.

Only a tiny fraction of climate research funding in the U.S. comes from universities. Most comes from Federal agencies. Are you saying that George Bush's government would refuse to fund a global warming skeptic? Raymond Arritt 22:41, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Hypothetical speculation that the Bush admin would fund critics just shows a lot about the person making the comment. This whole wikipedia is just a leftist slanted op-war. The same guys who bring us Google bombing and Daily Kos, and the like.
