A re-examination of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's farewell speech highlights his warnings about the "military-industrial-academic complex." The speech is noted for predicting the current state of science, where government contracts and big pharmaceutical funding have replaced independent intellectual curiosity. The hosts argue that the "scientific-technological elite" now dictates public policy as Eisenhower feared.

### Climate Research Funding, Anti-AGW Disparity

- **Episode:** [244: Form 990](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/244-form-990.md)
- **Published:** 2010-10-17

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/244-form-990/chapter/climate-research-funding-anti-agw-disparity.md

A significant disparity exists in funding for climate change research, with approximately $3 billion annually supporting human-made global warming (AGW) theories compared to only $2 million for skeptical research. This financial imbalance is cited as a primary driver for scientific consensus. The hosts argue that the "gravy train" of climate funding encourages scientists to support the prevailing narrative.
