Ok, so who IS the 1% ?

I've heard anyone who makes over $500,000 yearly, and I've heard anyone with net worth more than 9 million.
Both of these seem a bit extreme to me... what is the real figure?

Climategate
Towing that old horse again? Yeah, and other scientists have said within that "leak" some of the papers in there are outright trash. Apparently, some do the research sloppy and other scientists help improve it. This is the open exchange of ideas at work, and news organizations (especially ones sponsored by oil companies) take this stuff completely out of context and foment populist reaction against the whole system, saying it's corrupt, which is clearly not the case. This also makes the implication that climate research is only being done at the University of East Anglia (http://www.uea.ac.uk/) which of course is bullshit.
They've been caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
No denialists are grasping at straws, and if they didn't have big news media constantly taking things out of context, they wouldn't have a pot to piss in.
