>> 90% of scientists believe climate change is happening. They are not all getting paid under the table like your friend. First of all, that's been disproved, shot down, whatever, in numerous different writings. Here's one if you care: wsj.com More significantly, though, is do you ACTUALLY think your comment constitutes "science"? It doesn't. No element of the scientific method promotes the idea that the offhanded opinions of other scientists mean shit. What matters is the quality of the science. And this is the problem. You and millions like you who don't know the difference between science and politics. The claim that some percentage of scientists agree is a political, public relations matter, not a scientific one. I have no idea why liberals do not understand and believe in science.

90% of scientists believe climate change is happening. The intelligent ones know it is natural. The morons think people and CO2 are the reason, along with 60w bulbs and SUV's. Private jets of politicians and movie stars and sports figures are OK though. NOPE nobody can make this crap up. No wonder these idiots hide behind pretend ignore.

Rev. Wright’s Daughter Headed To Prison .......................................................................... Daily Caller ^ \| 2/23/15 \| DEREK HUNTER Jeri Wright, the 48-year-old daughter of President Barack Obama’s mentor and former pastor Jeremiah Wright, is heading to jail. Free on bail while awaiting sentencing for money laundering in connection to a government-funded jobs training program, a U.S. District Court Judge found “there was probable cause to believe Wright committed a separate theft while on bail, thereby violating terms of her supervised release.” The new charges against Wright involve more sketchy bookkeeping. The Chicago Sun-Times reports: Prosecutors now say Wright was taking part in another scheme — this one involving ghost payrolling — even as she was standing trial. Between Feb. 12, 2014, and May 28, 2014, Wright allegedly got 13 payments totaling $8,192 from a temporary staffing agency “for work she never performed” for a plastics factory in Franklin, Indiana, according to a court filing this month. U.S. Probation Officer Eric W. Fox wrote that Wright “committed theft” by accepting the payments, which allegedly were authorized by a since-fired plant manager who is under investigation for “making fraudulent credit card charges and hiring several” ghost payrollers. Through her attorney, Wright denied the new charges. Wright faces a March 20 sentencing for her original conviction for making false statements to investigators and before a grand jury, as well as pocketing $11,000 as part of the fraud scheme.
