You're the one who used the word "hack."  Scientists at NOAA, NASA and the IPCC are heavily conflicted, because their jobs depend on the climate change narrative, and because they'll be fired or sidelined if they have the audacity to challenge the narrative.  They don't dare to tell the truth as they see it.  The organizations will lose all their funding if they dare to challenge the narrative.  That's pretty much the definition of what a "hack" is.  I don't know how anyone can be more of a hack than the so-called scientists at NOAA, NASA and the IPCC.  They almost define the word "hack."

When the earliest AGW papers were presented, they were seen as dangerous to the established order, and research funding was, if anything, hard to come by.  Even then, NASA had some skin in the game, so that agency took the early lead.  But let's not pretend that this was the arrival of ever-flowing research funds.  Republicans, and their funders in the fossil fuel industry, have fought this idea tooth and nail from day one.  So tell me, how is pitching an idea that has no short term upside and plenty of short term downside, good for science funding -- unless it's the funding to debunk the real science.  That's gotten funding galore for decades, though the total buy-in by industry seems to be cracking -- finally!

As I said, if you really believe the crap that these hacks are putting out, then you've got 11 years left.  Relax and enjoy it.  Burn, baby, burn!

If you don't believe it, the timeline is the same.  The only difference, all the evidence supports AGW, so sitting around playing Nero may not threaten your life.  Do you have children?  Grandchildren?

And btw, the GND is the next economic driver.  The Luddites hated the weaving machines, but the machines won by making quality fabrics cheap.  The GND will do the same for energy and transportation.  The market is already noticing and joining the fray.
