Make Sure “Climate Change” is in Your Grant Application

The best way to get grant money nowadays is to try to draw from a torrent of global warming money.  I would say that the first rule of grant application writing today is "include climate change in your study."

    Gosh, I’m a software engineering professor. I guess I’d better start promoting Green (or Sustainable) Software Engineering.

    Or, perhaps, if I can show a method to make my students think even less (hard to envision) we can reduce the CO2 footprint of software development.

    It seems the universities are getting into the ‘gimme money’ game, too. And taxpayers foot the bill!

    I am afraid that this grant thing is more insidious than we imagine. A friend of mine at the university – who views herself as having the utmost integrity – played this AGW card in her grant application and secured a research grant to travel to Japan. On the inside, it is very difficult to see what is wrong with such a move, however, if the media did not like the idea, they would really make it look scandalous.
