#1 Gee, what do you think these boneheads want to do to scientists that don't warn about MMGW?

Can't come up with the words to describe this. Has anyone found a tie between someones money and this?

#6 I'm a professional geophysicist - don't try this at home. My prediction: If you are near a known fault there will be an earthquake; if you are not near a known fault there will be an earthquake; the only difference is probabilities. Probabilities are just statistical variation around the unknowable answer.

#8 I could give you my best guess, but if I'm wrong - and odds are real high I would be - I get sued or jailed, so make your own guess.

#9 It is a terrible verdict, and a terrible prosecution, but in your heart of hearts, don't you wish even a teensy weens bit that Obama's economists who assured that the stimulus would keep unemployment below 8 percent were next?
