I will admit, I don't really know what you're talking about. First, you trust the Sudanese Copenhagen ambassador to speak with a level, measured tone, something nobody in Sudanese officialdom is capable of doing. He is to speak without hyperbole regarding the possibility of trimming the funding to the 77 governments it represents. In addition, it's an oil-dependent state so would have a vested interest in keeping the energy status quo. He is correct that cutting foreign aid will bring about hardships (although he does it in a profoundly stupid way), but those that trust that climate change is real believe that climatic shifts will be significantly worse for the developing world that a proposed reduction in aid. Besides, the vast majority of consumers were not represented in the G77 anyway, residing instead in the G20 countries that provide the aid he doesn't want cut.
I also have no idea who Phil is, nor do I particularly care about any specific scientist or lab. What I do care about is that the overwhelming majority of climatologists and planetologists believe that human-made GHGs are having a significant effect on the climate. I trust that.
$1.5 quadrillion? Where does that number come from? And who would be owed the money, anyway? Even if it is a legit number, no serious scheme I have heard of says we will go from present emmission levels to zero immediately. Indeed, no scheme I've heard of says we'll ever go to zero emmissions.
Regarding global cooling, there was actually no real scientific consensus that this was the case, as there is with climate change now. It's a false comparison, and digging into the research on both will show that.
