Climatologists Wager on Global Warming

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the dollars-for-degrees dept.

coflow writes "The Guardian is carrying a story about a $10,000 bet that a pair of Russian scientists have entered with British climate expert James Annan. According to the article, the Russians believe the world will be cooler in 10 years. "If the temperature drops Dr Annan will stump up the $10,000 (now equivalent to about £5,800) in 2018. If the Earth continues to warm, the money will go the other way.""

    Ya... except for one important thing: Global warming is a joke. They were calling global cooling 25-30 years ago (I wasn't born yet, but I saw science videos that proclaimed another mini-iceage coming, similar to how modern science videos proclaim global warming.. rediculous)
