But I don't think it is some. We have geologists, and we have meteorologists, who all have jobs. I'm not sure how many jobs exist in the world for climatologists that aren't involved in the global warming/climate change public policy realm. If you're a climatologist you're probably working on a grant written "to discern to what degree man is causing global climate change and what possible methods could be used to stop it." NASA might employ a few for other things, and the NASA equivalents overseas. Various private companies with weather predicting needs probably employ meteorologists more than a climatologist since typically it'll be something like needing to predict corn yields the next growing season, not anything long term measured in decades. In a way I'm reminded of chiropractors. They have one tool in their toolbox, so of course they see that as being able to fix every problem (Got a cold? crack your back. Need a vaccine? crack your back. Earache? Crack your back.).
