The Warmists' are funded from the taxpayers to the tune of hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars.
Skeptics get NO money from any government. It's all private funding and it doesn't add up to even 1% of what the Warmists/Alarmists get. Yet the Warmists on this site have the gall to screech about BIG OIL and the Koch brothers.

Let's see. One side has to pay for satellites. Is Roy Spencer a greenie?

And to take the temperature of the planet, we need over a thousand weather stations. Many weather stations are at airports. Is the air industry run by greenies?
On the other hand, just making stuff up, like your lie about Obama giving the UN $100 billion, which is not possible without congressional approval, is pretty cheap. The oil industry is not short of money. James Hansen and Michael Mann just have to recant to bunethical billionaires.
Wrong. Having a science degree is the only requirement to sign the Petition Project. Not everyone with a science degree has made a career in science.

Money for the weather is exactly where the money is going. Al Gore and Paul Ehrlich are not climatologists.
I don't know about you, but if someone were to offer me a million dollars at the end of my career if I were to lie throughtout my career, my first thought would be that their offer was a lie.
And where in the above statement do you see me defending any kind of unethical or illegal activity? I'm saying that I don't believe that his younger self would have been stupid enough to accept an offer to recieve money decades later for lying. So, someone paid him over a million dollars. You should look into the details before ASSuMEing to much. Was it a lifetime achievement award? A research grant? The price he got for his house in a booming real estate market?
The answer should be technological geniuses. After all, funds are just a measure of the added value. Who adds the most value to our existence?
Since there are only a handful of true skeptics compared to the thousands of scientists who accept AGW, it only makes sense that the majority of research funding go to those who are actually conducting research and contributing to our knowledge of the earth's climate system.
Deniers receive the greater portion of pure political funding because, after all, theirs is a purely political (and to some extent blatantly anti-science) agenda.

edit --
The fact you blindly accept a bogus list is not just stupid, it contradicts your stated objection to another concept you do not understand, scientific consensus. In typical Denier hypocritical fashion, you present as evidence the exact same kind of thing you criticize others for doing.
Maybe if you actually knew something about science, you would not be so easily fooled by such stupid tricks.
=====
CR --- is right. If Mann and Hansen said they did not believe in AGW, Deniers would stampede each other rushing to suck their *****.
As long as fake skeptic donors do not wish to reveal their funding and to which fake skeptic organizations, it is impossible to tell.
The ones with the valid arguments. If you had a valid argument you would get funding too, but you're just an ignorant paranoid moron
The skeptics get far more funding from the big corporations like coal and oil than any politically funded public money.
Greenies...by far are sucking up the vast majority of taxpayer-provided welfare/'grant' money.
Successful grant recipients must demonstrate that their research will find reasons to blame Man for something called "Global Warming" and/or prove that "Global Warming" actually exists.
Buying such research beefs up government's excuse for taxing everything in sight.
I am deeply saddened by the large number of so-called 'scientists' who have pimped themselves out to this dispicable hoax
All about fame and fortune.

I am re-posting Maxx's question with clearer language to see if this goes through.
