The $10,000 Global Warming Skeptic Challenge!
I have heard global warming skeptics make all sorts of statements about how the science doesn't support claims of man-made climate change. I have found all of those statements to be empty and without any kind of supporting evidence. I have, in turn, stated that it is not possible for the skeptics to prove their claims. And, I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is.
I am announcing the start of the $10,000 Global Warming Skeptic Challenge. The rules are easy:
1. I will award $10,000 of my own money to anyone that can prove, via the scientific method, that man-made global climate change is not occurring;
2. There is no entry fee;
3. You must be 18 years old or older to enter;
4. Entries do not have to be original, they only need to be first;
5. I am the final judge of all entries but will provide my comments on why any entry fails to prove the point.
That's it! I know you are not going to get rich with $10,000. But, tell me, wouldn't you like to have a spare $10,000? After all, the skeptics all claim it is a simple matter, and it doesn't even have to be original. If it is so easy, just cut and paste the proof from somewhere. Provide the scientific evidence and prove your point and the $10,000 is yours!
This is no joke. If someone can provide a proof that I can't refute, using scientific evidence, then I will write them a check.
But, I am sure I will never have to because it can't be proven. The scientific evidence for global warming is overwhelming and no one can prove otherwise.
Any takers?

I applaud the effort tho.

(13,218 posts)I meant if he wanted to have an objective, fair test. Of course he can have whatever (unfair) rules he wants since it's his money. His point is totally unconvincing to me. See the Amazing Randy for a fair way to put the psychics to the test.

PS You know, like the Supreme Court Judges.

(25 posts)I can't prove this,
so I can't be positive,
but I've heard that it's impossible to prove a negative.
Am I wrong or am I right?
Or does anybody care?

It's human made. Women contribute too.
