The more of it they defund the better it is for the tax payers (you and me)! I do not want my tax dollars to go to the IPCC propaganda or UNFCC whatever it is. Chris, aside basic communication skills you should teach those looser how to generate their own money. They will need those skills badly in the nearest future. Explain them how politicians generate money for their campaigns and let them collect donations for their research. See how much they get. Those "scientists" wanted to eat polititians bread, so let them eat it. I join with #3 sHx. The more of it they defund the better it is for the tax payers (you and me)!

I am glad both the IPCC <i>and</i> the UNFCC will be losing their funding. Now I know more and feel better. Thanks for the correction.

It's really the only argument there is other than appeals to the authority of the IPCC itself. Yep,
