Three major public universities have been given a grant to study climate change, but a pro-family organization is saying that money could be better spent.

The National Science Foundation has given three Idaho universities $15 million to study climate change. Part of that money will go toward the hiring of ten faculty members. Bryan Fischer of the Idaho Values Alliance says it is unfortunate that some universities have bought into what he sees as a largely imaginary problem.

"The best science is telling us that there has been no global warming for the last ten years," he explains. "In fact, temperatures over the last five years have actually been declining, and scientists are telling us that we may be headed for an extended period of global cooling because of a decline in solar activity."

With the addition of the new faculty members, Fischer adds Idaho taxpayers will eventually become responsible for their salaries and lab equipment. "And so eventually, Idaho taxpayers are going to feel the pinch of this bogus science," he contends.
