Then the donors control it. The donors will control what the foundation finds and what it does not. This is a poor solution.
As for climate change, it is a reality. An indisputable geological and historical fact. They have found ancient ruins under water. Cities that used to be ports are now land locked. The Nile river was in ancient times much closer to Giza. Polybius goes off on a long discourse regarding the silt levels in Hellespont. Climate change is a fact. It's an ancient fact that has been with our species forever. It's not man made. It can't be. But that doesn't change the fact that our continued existence as a civilization hinges upon coming to terms with it.
Are you saying all the treehuggers have no money? Crowd funding, open source information, and distributed analysis and machine learning are the future of science. We literally have machines that have learned physics by observing how objects act in the real world. When they were turned on, they didn't know what physics even was as a concept. Set a learning AI loose on the climate change data and see what it comes up with.
So what? What do I care about past societies? I live in one where people can die in the waiting room of hospitals while some lazy fat functionary checks their papers!
That is a function of insurance and government monopolies driving up the price of insurance. The government gets certain medical devices for a "discount" so they can provide it at a "reduced price" for medicare patients. The company isn't allowed to sell their product at this discounted price and if they continually lowered their prices they'd be in the negative. A guaranteed financier only guarantees that the prices will increase indefinitely.
Yes the climate changes I'm well aware. What I'm saying is our efforts are going to be put towards geo engineering and then alternative energy sources because going off of fossil fuels would spell an explosive conflict originating from Saudi Arabia. The only viable alternative is nuclear energy, and Democrats have made it effectively impossible to dispose of nuclear waste.
