Strawman attacks on a few hundred thou of funding by a few sources you disrespect are disingenuous, also, compared to the 10s of billions of dollars going to innumerable institutions and firms to bolster the AGW case. The very livelihoods of the principal proponents of the IPCC case depend on that massive flow of money.

(Not to mention that Gore has multiplied his personal wealth by 1-2 orders of magnitude on its back, and stands fair to make it to 3.)

‘Incompatible Facts’
Global temperature dropped when human CO2 first surged in the ’40s to ’70s. It has dropped again since ’98, during the highest ever output period. Those data, however fudged, are TOTALLY incompatible with calling CO2 “forcing” or a “driver”, much less THE forcing driver, as the IPCC does.

CO2 is not “forcing”, and human CO2 emissions are irrelevant.
