Gore Challenged to Global Warming Wager

From OneNewsNow, a University of Pennsylvania professor has proposed a bet to global warming high priest Al Gore.

Wharton School marketing professor Scott Armstrong is challenging Al Gore to a ten-year bet on how many degrees the global temperature will increase over that period. Armstrong says he and Gore would both put $10,000 into a charitable trust in December, and ten years later the money would go to the winner's charity of choice.

Rush Limbaugh proposed a betting pool on global warming on Monday:

Now, you might have to wait 20 years for payoff. It's one of the smart things these people have done, "Well, 2050 New York City could be under water, 2050 Greenland could melt." The point is they would not put their money where their mouth is. None of these global warming activists, none of these scientists would do it. I don't know what it takes to get a betting line on these sites, but boy, it would be cool if we could do it.

You'd have to wait a while for the payoff, but that would be some easy money.
