Professor Challenges Al Gore to a Global Warming bet of $10,000

June 23, 2007

The professor has said the bet would be over a 10 year period.

Armstrong has challenged the former vice president to a 10-year bet, in which $10,000 from the two would be set aside in escrow as Gore pits his forecast of how much global temperature will increase during that time against a so-called “naive model,” in which temperature would be expected to stay the same.

The winner would get to donate the $20,000 and accumulated interest to the charity of his choice

It seems very unlikely Al Gore would accept this bet as he has ducked all debates about this issue he was asked to be in. As he says, the debate is over. It’s settled science, so now it’s time to pay up. Get your wallets out.

Armstrong said that he discovered that most climate-change forecasts use bad methodology.

“We’ve been unable to find any scientific forecast, and what we have are forecasts by scientists,” he said.

Come on Al, put YOUR money where your mouth is. You want US to pay to stop global warming with carbon taxes and credits, why don’t you risk some or YOUR money and show us how strongly you do believe in your position.
