I was hoping to find something there showing his educational background, but alas, I was to be disappointed. So, we must just accept, on faith, that Barrie is a graduate in good standing of East Overshoe Middle School, located, paradoxically, in West Overshoe, Australia. (See the HEMA Australia Touring Guide, page 83. It’s located about 35 KM west of the Connie Sue Highway, between Premier Downs and Neale Junction.)

So, on to his occupational record, where, amongst the self-promoting puffery to be expected from a site of this sort, we see listed the following:

Environmental Services industry
Retail industry (2 entries)
Consumer Goods industry
Government Administration industry
Entertainment industry
Real Estate industry (4 entries)
Food & Beverages industry

Seems to have moved about a good bit, wouldn’t you say? Oh well, when you can’t make a go of one thing, just move on to something else.

But, folks… We all owe Barrie a apology. As we can see, he’s at least as well qualified as the hair dressers and landscapers listed among the oft-cited ’2000 scientists’.

After all, his current position in snake oil… errrrrrrrr.. lightning rod… ummmmmm I mean windmill sales places him at the very apex of the scientific community, and his proclamations should be given the weight to which they are entitled.

Oops! I notice I said “from times preceding the opening of the Atlantic basin” when I meant “from times after the opening…” Sorry about that.

those same geologists will tell us that most of the land now comprising continents was once see floor, in many periods since the theoretical Pangaea existed, yet it is today’s continental shelves which supposedly matched up in Pangaea.

I think you’re confused about what geologists might say. Yes, they say present land was once sea floor, but not (with a few exceptions), from times preceding the opening of the Atlantic basin. People tend to forget that with there being land on earth for a couple billion years, bits and pieces of land have been joining and separating, building up and being eroded, sliding under and riding over other layers, for periods of time far longer than the time the Atlantic has been around. A geologist who has gotten any sort of decent grades in school will know this.

UK-Analyst, a stocks and shares tips company, today sent an email to all subscribers urging them to sell any stocks they have in any of these carbon trading companies titled “A Book Review, 3 stocks to short to zippo and the political scandal of the decade”. The email encourages people to either short sell the life out of these companies in order to grab some cash from the sinking ship or to simply sell up before the shares are worth nothing. The email provides the following link as interesting reading:

The website has many links to sub pages of this site: http://www.anelegantchaos.org/ – which seemingly contains a catalogue of the leeked emails. Please do read up, and if you find the information plausable then do spread the word.

This recent hack may be a massive hoax and I may be very very wrong. Climate change may be real, but we owe it to ourselves and everyone else to draw attention to this information so that it may either be discreditied or affirmed.
