New data released by NPR (https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/11/29/564043596/climate-scientists-watch-their-words-hoping-to-stave-off-funding-cuts) this week shows that grants and research proposals from the National Science Foundation (NSF) using the term "climate change" in their title or summary have dropped by 40 percent this year when compared to 2016.*

That's only 302 grants using the term this year compared to 520 last year, NPR (https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/11/29/564043596/climate-scientists-watch-their-words-hoping-to-stave-off-funding-cuts) reported.*
