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?

>scientists have to sometimes be persuasive.

They do?  Really?  A scientist's job, a scientist's calling, is to find and publish objective, empirically proven facts about the way the universe works.  And that is all.  Period.  Full stop.

Schneider et al, and all the "climate science" gang, have been using public money to create agitprop for the environmentalist wackos.  That is a breach of the public trust, not to mention criminal.  They should be forced to repay all the grant money, then imprisoned.
