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?

Government scientists have to be persuasive to get their checks of government funding, hence their theories have to be in line with the Party, otherwise they get no funding.

No scientist outside of the government or the UN seriously considers man-made global warming to be the unquestionable truth the media portrays it to be.
