The Climate Research Unit (CRU) in the UK was set up in 1971 with funding from Shell and BP as is described in the book: “The history of the University of East Anglia, Norwich; Page 285)” By Michael Sanderson. The CRU was still being funded in 2008 by Shell, BP, the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate and UK Nirex LTD
Last time I checked Shell and BP were big fossil fuel companies. Nirex is of course a nuclear company.
Coca-Cola funds the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) as does HSBC Bank. In fact the entire enviromental movement is funded to the tune of billions every year by big business.

Not to forget the biggest group driving this manmade global warming rubbish, the United Nations. The gang behind such great productions as the sanctions on Iraq that killed over 750,000 people, the invasion of Afghanistan and permission to bomb and kill thousands in Libya, for starters.
The UN sponsored IPCC reports on Climate Change are a watered-down, consensus-driven, politically-motivated analysis of the current planetary situation. They are far from the truth and are in fact considered by many to be too conservative. So rather than driving the "rubbish" of human accelerated climate change, in fact the UN is actually downplaying the seriousness of the situation.
Do we have to wait for 100% certainty before we act? There is no such thing as 100% certainty. Climate Change is one issue of many, including increased extinction of species, drought, famine and so on.
The question has to be:can we go on living as we are?
no panic. They've found water on Mars, we'll be grand once they go home.
