“The National Science Foundation last year used your taxpayer money to fund
a climate change musical. Do you think that’s a waste of your money?” he
said in a White House briefing on Tuesday.
While Congress is expected to reject much of the president's budget, the
scientific community blasted the cuts.
The National Science Foundation has spent nearly $700,000 on a climate
change-themed theatrical production, leaving some in Congress questioning if
the organization's grant funds could be put to better use.
Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, questioned White House science czar John Holdren
in a hearing last Thursday about the way the NSF is using taxpayer money --
including on the grants for the play, a New York production called "The
Great Immensity."
“I support basic research, which can lead to discoveries that change our
world, expand our horizons and save lives,” Smith, chairman of the House
Science Committee, told FoxNews.com. “But NSF has funded too many
questionable research grants. Spending taxpayer dollars to fund a climate
change musical called ‘The Great Immensity’ sounds more like a waste of
taxpayer dollars -- money that could have funded higher priority research.”
“All government employees and their agency heads need to remember they are
accountable to the American taxpayer who pays their salary and funds their
projects. It is not the government's money; it is the people's money,” he
added.
The play is being produced by New York-based activist theater group The
Civilians with a grant award from 2010. According to a plot description on
the theater company’s website, "The Great Immensity" focuses on a woman
named Phyllis as she tries to track down a friend who disappeared while
filming an assignment for a nature show on a tropical island. During her
search, she also uncovers a devious plot surrounding an international
climate summit in Auckland, New Zealand. | H********g
