There is much that I disagree with here but what stands out is your  
notion that there are "billions poured into the AGW worldview/ 
science". Where does that come from? Certainly if we  add up the  
annual budgets of the national weather services of every country in  
the world and the budgets of all the meteorology/climate science  
departments of every university  in the world it amounts to a few  
million dollars.  It's probably very comparable to what the deniers  
have been spending on PR and I would  guess slightly less. Climate  
science is  not 'Big Science' by any means.
