If you take this particular groups funding away, climate change still exists.

Without the political connection climate change is just another theory that goes away as people move on to the next thing. The fact that top scientists feel the need to doctor data and a need to discredit the opposition is troubling. You seem to forget that there are a lot of scientists on the other side of the debate. Scientists once thought the world was flat.

Climate change is hardly "just another theory". If one eliminates Al Gore from the discussion of climate change, it doesn't change anything but a talking point for Faux News. BTW, in science talk, a "theory" is equivalent to our current known proven reality.
Data wasn't "doctored" in the manner the politicos imply (as to alter outcome). As I said, infighting among scientists is pretty common.
There are not "alot of scientists" on "the other side" of the data. The vast, overwhelming conclusion of the majority of scientific experts in all associated specialities throughout the world, over the past 20-30 years, is most obviously that climate change and significant global warming are obviously real. The only mistake they have made is that it appears to be progressing faster than anticipated.
