Warming climate. reporter: the fact that there will be more precipitation in a warmer world is one of the clearest and long standing projections in a climate science. so to some degree it s not surprising. on the other hand these floods and to a greater degree even the pacific heat dome we saw a few weeks ago in northwest u.s. and british columbia, canada, are surprisingly dramatic, even given the predictions of climate science. this is the thing that most of the scientists i speak to are most focused on and concerned about, anxious about over the last couple of weeks, which is to say we have a relatively good idea of what some of the median projections of climate impacts are likely to be but we re already seeing impacts that are much higher. that s not to say that everyone going forward is going to be, you know, at the 95th percentile of a particular projection. but we re starting to see our median projections are not the best guide even to our near future, let alone our distant fut ....
Whatever the income is, it would be on the adjusted gross income and it would give us a chance to try to get around and end some of these abuses that are taking place in the tax system. you talked about not growing middle-class incomes, not taxes, raising taxes on the middle class. and there s a little bit of a debate right now on what the definition of middle class is. my understanding is your campaign is essentially saying no taxes on households earning less than $250,000. but that s still that gets people all the way up to if i m not mistaken the 90th, 95th percentile of income. isn t middle class a narrower category than the category of people you re pledging not to raise taxes on? well, in fact, this was the pledge that president obama made, that my husband made. and it is based on a lot of the ....
Campaign is essentially saying no taxes on households earning less than $250,000. but that s still that gets people all the way up to if i m not mistaken the 90th, 95th percentile of income. isn t middle class a narrower category than the category of people you re pledging not to raise taxes on? well, in fact, this was the pledge that president obama made, that my husband made. and it is based on a lot of the expenses and costs that people face. clearly, the median income is much less than that. but a lot of the people who are in the, say, 50,000 to 250,000 bracket are two-income families. they re working at jobs that are not, you know, jobs that produce great wealth. they might produce a comfortable middle class lifestyle or upper middle-class lifestyle. but when we talk about people who are really doing well, a ....
About you. in fact you were born a preemie. tell me about this letter. it says i fell into the obese category. gretchen: mom? tracy, how could that be? hi. it s the letters are mandated to the school systems by the department of public health here in massachusetts. and they re based solely on b.m.i. testing. b.m.i. testing without a doubt has its flaws. so cameron ended up falling into the 95th percentile which puts him in the obese category. gretchen: let s take a look at how you break down b.m.i. that s body mass index. it s the amount of body fat based on your height and your weight. if you re less than 5% you re underweight and then so-called normal, even though i hate that word, 5% to 84%. overweight, b.m.i. of 95 to ....
Letter said he was obese and bmi was in the 95th percentile. cameron plays football, martial arts, wrestles as you said the state championship and certainly doesn t look obese and he was not happy to get the letter. listen. why do you care? it s not your body and half of how they do it with the numbers, tom brady is obese and he s the skiniest quarterback in the nfl. reporter: we checked and tom brady, according to the index is not obese, so he is considered very overweight. i have no idea what gizelle sees in that guy and checked and found out that frank gore, runningback for the 49ers is considered to be obese, as is cc sabathia, the pitcher for the yankees. now, the massachusetts department of public health says and i m quoting here, helping children maintain a healthy weight may prevent serious illness later in life and intended to raise parent s ....
