The "environmentalists" are rolling in it. Looting as hard as they can go. Look at Al Gore growing fat on the profits while running a very high CO2 emissions lifestyle... oh yes, he buys carbon credits from himself... hilarious. <A former top climate scientist who had become of one the scientific world's most cited authorities on the human effect on Earth's atmosphere was sentenced to probation Tuesday after pleading guilty to steering lucrative no-bid contracts to his wife's company. In addition to a year's probation, former NASA manager Mark Schoeberl, 60, of Silver Spring, was also fined $10,000 and ordered to put in 50 hours of community service. He admitted in the late summer that he had hid some $50,000 in NASA contracts for a company called Animated Earth, which was run by Schoeberl's wife, Barbara. Prosecutors alleged that Schoeberl tried to help his wife's firm for years. When his colleagues balked at giving no-bid contracts to his wife's firm, Schoeberl pressured them to steer money to his wife through indirect means. > Hands up those who think that those attending the Copenhagen jamboree will vote to get real jobs because there doesn't appear to be a problem, instead of staying in swanky hotels, having yummy free meals, getting a holiday from their boring data crunching [hiding the trends and going through emails to delete them is hard work], meeting attractive women/men, strutting on stage and being important, running expense accounts instead of time sheets, flying on airliners [or even private jets] to exotic locations is interesting and despite the security checks quite fun and self-important. Will they calculate their Copenhagen jamboree carbon footprint and compare it with mine? Hahahaha.....fat chance. They want the perks, power and pecuniary interests. Mqurice
