"The internet wouldn't exist without some public funding at some point. That's not to say that Government MUST control it, but that government has always had some role."
Has the government always had some role? Would it not exist without some public funding? Seems to me that the internet didn't really get off the starting block until the government abandoned it. I first saw it in 1981 and back then it was strictly an email network between large universities (mainly private, I was going to the University of Southern California at the time). After the government got out of the way, those university students figured out a way to really make it better. The basic elements of the internet may have been created by the government but the real bells and whistles and the world wide web was created in spite of the government.

My statement stands, the IPCC is a UN organization. The IPCC is the ultimate power grab by the UN. Prove me wrong or just call it a strawman argument, your choice.

The UN is a strawman?
The IPCC is a UN organization. Sounds like you see strawmen everywhere.
