[pp.int.general] Global heating: 2 degrees of heating is 16 years away

    He's physicist who does not work in the field of String theory, and has
    enormous difficulty finding funding. Even though he himself has produced
    papers that helped the field of theoretical physics move forward.
    Worse than that, although he claims that research in String theory has done
    much for science, it has done more for mathematics than for physics.

That's as I said: some other lines of physics ought to be investigated
more.

    Also, if the funders don't like the direction your research is going, what
    would prevent them from stopping the funding for your research?

There is always this danger.  Canada's right-wing pro-fossil-fuel
government is planning now to terminate some climate research because
its results demonstrate global heating.
