I don't know so much about the
particular situation regarding the funding of climate research but it seems apparent that politics has competely overtaken science, so
on this
particular issue I don't
doubt a deal will have to be made and given that there are those in positions of influence who would quite happily scrap all funding for climate research altogether I guess such a deal would represent a genuine compromise.
Signature Realty, Inc. v. Tallman (303 A.D. 2d 925)-- if there is any
doubt or uncertainty as to the meaning of the disputed language in a brokerage agreement, all ambiguity must be resolved against the broker who prepared it; brokerage agreement was, as a matter of law, ambiguous with respect to the
issue of whether broker would earn commissions when tenant exercised an option to renew the lease and therefore broker is not entitled to commissions
on rental payments during any renewal term of the lease; broker not entitled to restitution in quasi-contract because there exists a valid and enforceable written contract governing the
particular subject matter in dispute; dissenting opinion finds that the brokerage agreement is clear with respect to commissions earned and payable and that tenant was obligated to pay a commission to broker at the time the rental payment was due and owing to landlord, including during renewal terms of the lease.
