A study by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) determined that the United States funded the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations authority on alleged man-made global warming, with $31.1 million since 2001, nearly half of the panels annual budget.
The GAO also found that this funding information was not available in budget documents or on the websites of the relevant federal agencies, and the agencies are generally not required to report this information to Congress.
In a Nov. 17, 2011 report, International Climate Change Assessments: Federal Agencies Should Improve Reporting and Oversight of U.S. Funding, the GAO found that the State Department provided $19 million for administrative and other expenses, while the United States Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) provided $12.1 million in technical support through the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), averaging an annual $3.1 million to the IPCC over 10 years -- $31.1 million so far.
The IPCC runs an annual budget of $7 million, according to the Wall Street Journal, making the United States a major benefactor for its global warming agenda.

I wonder how much more is spent by the bureaucracies of the FDA, EPA, CDC, HUD, Department of Energy, etc. combating ‘climate change’. Is that money shown separately in the budget?

You sound like the liberal media “It’s all Bush’s fault”.
Sure, your democrats didn’t have anything to do with this and the socialist mess the U.S.A is in. No reality is that Democrats should take the blame for this socialist mess the U.S.A is in.
