"Of course you have a right. You have a right to insist the world is flat." How dare we question the conclusions from the hogs of the money trough? How dare we?

koan.............being married to a scientist, I am well aware of what a scientist is and how he/she thinks. He is absolutely disgusted over the revelation that "scientists" manipulated data and colluded to create hypothesis that supported their agenda. He is worried that this has sullied the good name and reputation of scientists on whole and that this will block funding for research into worthwhile and honest work. You don't have to be so insulting.

koan, the flat-earthers are the ones claiming ridiculous cries of gloom and doom the earth is overheating because of plant food. Perhaps if one of their fake graphs showing dramatic overheated (aka "the Hockey Stick") ever correlated to a predictive model that worked for a decade, they might be able to claim a small vestige of science was involved. Unfortunately for them, they can't even guess very well. Personally, after ClimateGate I would be ashamed to be pedaling the gloom and doom Global Warming mantra these days. But, it takes all kinds I suppose, so have fun with it. BTW, three chemists in my neighborhood were laid off in the past year from Physor. Two of them had trouble finding another job making over 100K. So, I wouldn't assume your son in law could easily make 150K in the private sector, unless he's lining up to be an Enron like trader of Al Gore carbon futures.
