$125,000 to you if you can prove global warming caused by humans!!!

Ultimate Global Warming Challenge Ups Prize Money to $125,000 for Proving Humans Cause Catastrophic Climate Change



WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Ultimate GlobalWarming Challenge announced today that it raised to $125,000 the cash award to the first person to prove in a scientific manner that human emissions of greenhouse gases will cause catastrophic global climate change.(http://www.UltimateGlobalWarmingChallenge.com) "Surprisingly no one has entered the contest yet," said Steven Milloy,founder and publisher of JunkScience.com and the sponsor of the Ultimate Global Warming Challenge.
"I'm surprised since Al Gore, the United Nations and the mainstream media all seem to think that the notion of man made catastrophic global warming is a no-brainer," Milloy added.

The Ultimate Global Warming Challenge was launched on Aug. 7, 2007 with the popular and highly rated YouTube video entitled, "Can You Save AlGore?" (http://youtube.com/watch?v=LBCRStksqL0). "It appears that $100,000 is not enough to spur Al Gore and other climate alarmists to submit their proofs that humans are causing global warming," explained Milloy. "If it's a matter of money, Al Gore and the alarmists should just come out and tell us what sum it will cost the rest of us to see what proof they have.

Might I ask what type of proof is deemed to be acceptable?

Are they perhaps asking for 100% certanty in a science of probabilities?

For me, 90+% is good enough when the future of the race is involved - I wouldn't wait until 99.999% became 100% before I acted.

Yeah, good luck with that... I'm still waiting for my $100k from Macintosh for a similar challenge, but that's a whole other thing... you'll have your work cut out for you on this one.

Would those be lamb and mint flavoured crisps? I can see you wanting to rid the UK of such stuff but don't pretend it's a reward.

Would you care to answer my question first - what type of proof am I meant to be providing?

I see you're not taking me up on my offer. O.K. I'll add in a bar of toblerone and a tube of smarties.
