First, the 200 some million is a paltry sum. Almost nothing when you think about what we just lost in climate research this year.
Secondly, care to provide a source that shows that they have actually recieved any federal money at all for the fiscal '04 year to fund climate change? Let alone any kind of increase.
If Bush would cut the other programs, I would bet money he cut National Science Foundation funds as well.
It seems to me he is targeting specific things, and we all know how he feels about climate change research.
