The scientific industrial complex

       Much has been said about Eisenhower's term "military industrial complex".

            But for the many who have not read this former USA President's whole farewell speech, the second half warned about the scientific industrial complex,  with a focus on funding.

            Throughout history, scientists have always sought sponsorship, money if you will, to fund their work, and feed themselves and their Family, if they had one. Even the famous scientist Galileo had this dilemma.

            So today when I read a scientist being quoted on any subject, to include human caused global warming, I almost always try find out just how he or his work is being funded.

            Eisenhower was on to something, and warned us to boot.
