Trump administration yanks funding for “Climate-Related Fellowships”
That being said, I do think the world of climate science investigation has become a "gravy train" of sorts...
Anthony Watts wrote about it on his "Watts Up With That" blog:
"This past August, Travis learned that her fellowship offer had been rescinded because of budget cuts. 'This was the first grant I wrote myself,' she said. 'It was really validating for me to be selected, which is why it’s so crushing that the program ended up the way it did.'
Three other scientists chosen for the fellowships also found their offers revoked. With only four fellows ultimately accepted in 2017, the prestigious program is now funding fewer researchers than it ever has since it was launched in 1991. At least two other postdoctoral fellowship programs in the United States for climate scientists have also been defunded or put on hold, giving young climate scientists fewer options for continuing their careers."
