I assume you are talking about this paltry tiny sum of money....

The Adaptation Fund is an international fund that finances projects and programs aimed at helping developing countries to adapt to the harmful effects of climate change. As of November 30, 2013, the Fund had US$ 156 million available to allocate to climate adaptation projects. By early November 2013, the AFB had allocated approximately US$ 200 million to support climate adaptation in 29 countries. The Adaptation Fund was established in 2001. (For comparison... Fly away cost of one f 22 fighter...$150 million.)

On the other hand, deniers are not even willing to admit that 30,000 scientists could possibly be right, and are under the delusion that they are more knowledgeable than these scientists...

That is sure one big conspiracy theory you guys have dreamed up....It involves hundreds of nations, and many thousands of climate scientist that you think are perpetrating an international hoax on the entire planet....

What reason is there for such a hoax?

Alarmism feeds polarization. Climate zealots want to burn heretics of global warming on a stick. Others only see incompetence and conspiracy in climate research, and nepotism in climate policy. A polarized debate is not conducive to enlightened policy in an area as complex as climate change – although we only need a carbon tax, and a carbon tax only, that applies to all emissions and gradually and predictably rises over time. The IPCC missed an opportunity to restore itself as a sober authority, accepted (perhaps only grudgingly) by most."
From the OP's link.

Now see, this is what tells me the blogger doesn't know what he's talking about. The LAST thing 'climate zealots" want is to burn more stuff, not without an environmental impact study and analyzing the carbon emissions.
If he had said "climate zealots want to hang the heretics with a nice length of hemp rope and feed the remains to barnyard animals or use them as fertiliser for organic gardens", he'd be far more credible.
One of the first rules of war is Know Your Enemy, and he appears to know squat.

Please, Climate Zealots would never use a stick to burn people to death, do you have any idea the kind of pollution that would cause?

The OP and article have horrifically maligned the global warming folks. these people CARE about the environment, and would never use that method.

Look at the media $$$$ behind climate change awareness and climate change denial. That should tell you something.

But if Greenland melts in 20-30 years, all the deniers will look like morons. If it doesn't melt, well then it's inconclusive, but the climate change awareness group will have overestimated.

Greenland's ice sheet won't melt in that short period of time...

Many of them have already realized the errors of their assumptions and have repudiated their support. Many other scientists never bought into human-caused "climate change" in the first place. The earth has been warmer before, the earth has been cooler before. If there is some slight warming occurring or natural, we'll simply have to adapt. Those not on board with the AGW cult get very suspicious of so many of the cult making money off it. Algore and his CO2 exchange was the most obvious example.
