Hi Greg,

Not a bad summary but you haven’t quite presented the correct picture and there is much much more behind this “Strangest AGW Denialist Story So Far This Year”.

According to my records John O’Sullivan and Tim Ball were associates before 11th March 2011, exchanging E-mails since the middle of 2010. That’s when John was collecting together his team of “Dragon Slayers” in preparation for releasing their book “Slaying the Sky Dragon”, which in my humble opinion is simply a hodge-podge of blog articles hurriedly thrown together behind a colourful cover. I’m not a scientist (neither are all of the PSI founding members) but am sceptical of the Catatrophic Anthropogenic Climate Change (CACC) hypothesis after giving careful consideration to the arguments since March 2007. Althogh I’m a sceptic I have to agree with CACC supporters and many other sceptics that “Slaying the Sky Dragon” has little if any scientific merit.

The E-mail exchanges that took place during Dec. 2010/Jan 2011 indicate that John’s big plan was to form an international publishing company Principia Scientific International (PSI) with thousands of subscribing members. PSI would have an executive with Tim Ball as Chairman, John O’S as CEO, Johannes (Hans) Cornelis Schreuder as CFO, Rev. Philip Foster as Complaince Offier and the rest of the executive chosen from the other co-authors.

John’s teaching career (in art?), which extended over a period of about 18 years but seems to have been somewhat intermittent, appeared to come to a rather abrupt end in 2003 when those charges were brought by his step-daughter’s one-time friend Rebecca. Since then he tried a variety of other means of earning a living before his PSI venture.

It’s a long, complicated but fascinating story with many unexpected tsists and turns. Anyone interested can find out more at GlobalPoliticalShenanigans (http://globalpoliticalshenanigans.blogspot.co.uk/) in articles and postings made since May.

Enjoy the read.
