“My final question that I find worth asking, if at least rhetorical: if AGW is obviously true, then why isn’t the IPCC acting with the same routine scientific integrity expected of any science body? In science, results are supposed to speak for themselves.”
They are, you are just too blinded by your own biases to accept it.
The IPCC gets routinely criticized in the science circles for being *too* conservative, if they are criticized at all.
Speaking of routine scientific integrity, you do realize that the sites you often reference, such as climateaudit and junkscience.org, have exactly none? No original research, no peer review?
