I don't know. Is an organization like The Climatic Research Unit (http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/) politically motivated?



They appear to be a government funded research institute. The bigger the fear over global warming, the more funding goes to such institutes. That does not mean they do bad science. But it does not mean that you should not take their reports as the unbiased truth. Institutional selection effects ensure that people who have views harmful to a given institution will not rise to the top of that institution.
