University Research Role for Combating Climate Change?

So Who’s Advising the Advisors?

The persons who actually make policy rely upon scientific advisors to
help them craft useful and efficient policy that will be acceptable to
voters. As you can imagine, meeting the technological challenges and
analyzing the effects of climate change is a very important job. It is
a small army of graduate students and other university professionals
that actually craft the experiments that result in useful data.

These experiments are most often dependent upon a system of grant
applications and publishing. As a result, industry and government alike
have the ability to direct research into areas they feel require more
study. In the case of industry, this is often carried out to complement
in-house research or to discredit a competing theory that would damage
their market share. Therefore, it is the mission of sustainable
development to encourage governments to invest in and train a generation
of qualified advisors capable of performing unbiased research.
