This reminds me of people that claim to be able to see the virgin
mary's image on a stain on a tree trunk. Dr. Barrett has special
abilities. He should build a small shrine in his community where
people can come visit him and leave science to scientists.

•• How is it that these so called scientists sit in front
of their computers and make stupid predictions
unsupported by real science.
•• Of course that is for what they are being paid.

In real science the burden of proof is always on
the proposer, never on the sceptics. So far
neither IPCC nor anyone else has provided one
iota of valid data for global warming nor have
they provided data that climate change is being
effected by commerce and industry, and not by
natural phenomena.
