The DAILY profits of oil companies could fund every climate scientist in the world for a year. If the science is a hoax, they could easily afford to fund science and scientists to demonstrate that. Yet they haven’t. And won’t. In fact they agree with the science. Why?

60% overhead is 6/16 (37.5%) of the grant. You might regard that as high (what is it in your own companies?) but if you don’t understand how grants are apportioned you really aren’t the genius you think you are. BTW endowments typically fund teaching not research.

@Pro__Trading @NathanJRobinson I suggest you look up the terms “judge” and “court”. That what the founding fathers gave the judicial branch is the exclusive right to interpret the laws of the USA. They expected that the other branches would obey the rulings of the judiciary.

@gyneth007 @elonmusk The private sector did not invent TCP/IP. It developed OSI, an expensive, balkanised solution that could never have delivered the open, affordable, network we all take for granted.

@anders_aslund @markpalexander And he really doesn’t understand what he thinks he’s uncovered! Or maybe he does but thinks it serves his purpose to misrepresent it.

Oh, and you really didn’t need to hack into the federal payment systems to uncover this information. You could simply have looked at any grant letter or funding request. Or asked the universities or funding bodies.
