You just crossed the Poe's Law boundary for me. In case you are actually in earnest, I'll make this easy for you. https://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar5/

How do you think the IPCC gets funded? Do you honestly think they would publish a report that bites the hand that feeds them? We need more independent studies. If this were a big corporation funding a study on Climate change and it didn't fit the narrative, this is exactly what you would be saying. When Money and Politics gets involved, the facts get muddied and hidden.

  >The IPCC receives funding from UNEP, WMO, and its own Trust Fund for which it solicits contributions from governments. Its secretariat is hosted by the WMO, in Geneva. What interest do these organizations have in inaccurate science? How could they possibly be more neutral?

    "What interest do these organizations have in inaccurate science? How could they possibly be more neutral?" If climate change is not man-made, they will no longer get funded. It's just as biased as any big company doing the same research, but it's excused because it's somehow seen as more 'scientific'

"You just crossed the Poe's Law boundary for me." Actually, all of the other comments to my post did it for me. I'm curious why seemingly intelligent people can be so easily manipulated by biased studies. Maybe it's the fire and brimstone articles. Al gore knew this and is now a Billionaire because of it. He even tried to get the government to force entire industries to buy carbon credits from his companies. Nobody cared about this. Not even in the scientific community. He was the one that championed the idea of "Global warming" and the scientific community followed it..even when he said foolish things like the science is "settled". I've heard this repeated over and over again. It's not..and if you say this, it's not science. Even here on HN, anything said against him was down voted. If bullshit like this can be passed off as the truth, it again should make everyone question it.
