At least 13 federal agencies charged with global warming research or climate change research or global change research, man-caused and natural

.
The US Global Change Research Plan "was known as the U.S. Climate Change Science Program from 2002 through 2008. The program is steered by the Subcommittee on Global Change Research under the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, overseen by the Executive Office of the President, and facilitated by the National Coordination Office."

5/25/12, "US Global Change Research Plan" 2012-2021, globalchange.gov

"As mandated by Congress, the USGCRP develops a new Strategic Plan every ten years that must “provide for [the] development and coordination of a comprehensive and integrated United States Research Program which will assist the Nation and the world to understand, assess, predict, and respond to human-induced and natural processes of global change.” The Plan will be implemented through the next decade by the collective efforts of 13 U.S. government agencies that collaboratively help the Nation better understand global change and its impacts.

This 2012-2021 Strategic Plan builds on past USGCRP Strategic Plans and the accomplishments of the USGCRP, and recognizes that effective response to global change requires a strong scientific foundation. The Plan continues to encompass both the fundamental research that improves understanding, as well as the research necessary to inform responses to climate and global change.

Even more strongly than in the past, the 2012 -2021 Strategic Plan Goals and Objectives require coordination across the diverse capabilities and missions of its Federal agency members, as well as the inclusion of other parts of the Federal government, traditionally outside of the core of USGCRP. This need reflects the more interdisciplinary focus of this Strategic Plan and its emphasis on integration across:

The various components of the Earth system, including the human component
Observations and modeling
Space and time
Scientific disciplines, including physical, biological, social and behavioral sciences
Domestic and international partnerships
The intersection of stakeholder needs with research capabilities"...

Globalist George Bush the First is responsible for this sell-out:

"The USGCRP began as a presidential initiative in 1989 and was mandated by Congress in the Global Change Research Act of 1990."
