In other news the IPCC has quietly cut it's estimate of warming to 2100 to as little as 1.3 Deg C.
And that money is less than the money that Al Gore had pledged to fund promoting climate change. I don't know if he ever followed through or not, but at one time he pledged $150 million per year from the proceeds of his book and movie ("an inconvenient truth")

1.3C is actually a very reasonable estimate, if you consider solar and GHG contribution in a more honest manner.
