HikerJens (70)	Professor udfordrer Al Gore i at forudsige temperatur trends 10 år frem. "The Global Warming Challenge * Claims have been made that the Earth will warm rapidly. * These are not based on scientific forecasting methods. Thus, the challenge: Predict global mean temp over 10 years. - Al Gore selects any current climate model - Scott Armstrong will assume no change Each deposits $10,000 in a trust fund in Dec. 2007. Value to winner's charity in 2018. " Armstrongs "Forecast" kritik: http://ff.org/images/stories/sciencecenter/armstrong_presentation.pdf http://theclimatebet.com/

rick_uk (1069)	Mashnich and Bashkirtsev vs. Annan! (August 2005) $10,000 that the planet will cool over the next decade The Russian solar physicists Galina Mashnich and Vladimir Bashkirtsev..based in Irkutsk, at the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics, believe that global temperatures are driven more by changes in the sun's activity than by the emission of greenhouse gases. They say the Earth warms and cools in response to changes in the number and size of sunspots. Most mainstream scientists dismiss the idea, but as the sun is expected to enter a less active phase over the next few decades the Russian duo are confident they will see a drop in global temperatures. Dr Annan, who works on the Japanese Earth Simulator supercomputer, in Yokohama, said: "There isn't much money in climate science and I'm still looking for that gold watch at retirement. A pay-off would be a nice top-up to my pension." Guardian: "Climate change sceptics bet $10,000 on cooler world" (19/8-05) - http://www.guardian.co.uk/climatechange/story/0,,1552153,00.html Vh rick Vi har hørt varslerne.
