The Reference Frame: House votes to ban U.S. funding for the IPCC

Even if the U.S. stops funding for this institution, it will be largely a symbolic move.

America only pays $2 million a year - a number that Obama wanted to increase by a factor of six. However, billions of dollars are being paid to the climate research whose fake impression of importance is being partly created by the "reputable" international IPCC body, and trillions have been wasted for related policies.

On the House Vote to Defund the IPCC « Roy Spencer, Ph. D.

The climate models are indeed great accomplishments. It’s what they are being used for that is suspect. A total of 23 models cover a wide range of warming estimates for our future, and yet there is no way to test them for what they are being used for! climate change predictions.

Virtually all of the models produce decadal time scale warming that exceeds what we have observed in the last 15 years. That fact has been known for years, but its publication in the peer reviewed literature continues to be blocked.

My theory is that a natural change in cloud cover has caused most of the recent warming. Temperature proxy data from around the world suggests that just about every century in the last 2,000 years has experienced warming or cooling. Why should today’s warmth be manmade, when the Medieval Warm Period was not? Just because we finally have one potential explanation – CO2?

While Gore’s passion for the environment helped him ascend to the highest political offices – and earned him a Nobel prize and an Oscar — the forests he loves have plunged into despair no thanks to rising temperatures, poor political will and tiny insects.
