Default Re: Do you really believe in climate change? Gambling and global warmi

Funny, the climate scientists have been trying to get the skeptics to accept bets for years. They've even openly stated "if Exxon was smart they'd front the bets for the skeptics". Now that election season is heating up it will be interesting to see if there will be more of these. Also, if somebody is honestly willing to bet on climate change I know a lot of scientists that don't make a lot of money that are willing to gamble their life savings with a generous 2:1 odds for the skeptic.

EDIT: This guy is a professor of marketing. And from what I can tell he's not a member of the AGU which means he's probably clueless. It would be interesting to see if he could answer some basic questions on the science. I'm wondering if he simply based his conclusion off of an "expert systems" program.

When it comes to skeptics it seems that most of them come from the marketing or economics fields. A curious trend to say the least.
