While government
science and tech funding is focused
on basic research, corporate R&D
mostly aims to bring new, slightly - improved products (like the upgraded iPhone or marginally - better cholesterol drug) to market.
An example of an intent to displace established climate
science is the incorrect contrarian «
basic» fringe claim that variations in solar activity are
mostly responsible for recent global warming / climate change; this contrarian claim is demonstrably wrong because it disagrees with the data
on solar activity.
