The goverment supplies funding to scientific bodies/orginizations who review proposals for grants and decide whom to fund. The trick to get funding is to prove a need for the research. So creative grant proposals with the help of your advisor who will share authorship helps to recieve funding. Of course if your advisor has co-authored a few papers with some one on the funding committee that also helps a whole bunch. The Good Old Boy Network is alive and well in academics.

Ah, but it’s “peer reviewed” no doubt, so it can be added to the wealth of "settled" scientific knowledge we have on the effects of climate change.
