He's a politician. A politician who does not believe in global warming. A politician who does not trust the IPCC (which has the participation of thousands of actual scientists). A politician who likens environmentalism to communism.
His opinion is worth about as much as that of a politician who does believe in global warming, thinks the reports of the IPCC are way too conservative, and likens capitalism to fascism - absolutely nothing.
Yes, the IPCC has political influences. It also has thousands of scientists reviewing its reports. Scientists who would complain quite loudly if politics really distorted the scientific consensus.
If you live near a university, chances are you could quite easily visit some conferences on human influences on global warming (for free, most likely). There, you would find lots of climate and environmental scientists, most of whom do support the theory that emissions caused by humans are contributing to global warming.

But theres nothing to gain from pushing the man made global warning theory.. uh? And I am not telling they are.. but could they?

Actually, they do point to those who disagree. The American Associan for Petroleum Geologists disagrees. They don't point to any others, because there are no other established scientific organizations that have issued statements of dissent. There are have been non-scientific groups (think tanks, etc), as well as small scientific groups, but _no_ large, established scientific organizations disagree.
Read the discussion page behind that link. Since it isn't censored, it contains both sides.
As for the whole conspiracy thing... get a grip.

Once again, get a grip.
Forget the politics behind it for a while, and just search through some open access journals. It should become abundantly clear to you what the scientific consensus on the matter is in no time at all.
