The great Randi and the £1,000,000 challenge

[EternalOptimist]

The great Randi has announced a £1,000,000 prize to the go to the first AGW zealot who can explain why global warming is not causing any global warming. The money has been placed in a sealed envelope in a sealed jar which will float around as the sea levels rise, straight to your door.
Randi is trying to debunk the claim that some AGM zealots can 'bend the truth' with just their minds. Supporters of 'truth bending' claim that they are only tiny truths, so they only require tiny minds.
So far, AGM zealots have refused to take part in any controlled CUK experiment, they have confined their 'truth bending' to untestable assertions. Most of what they say is, in fact, unrepeatable.

I like the idea of a climate futures market. I would be able to fleece money off the sceptic dimwits. Mind you they probably wouldn't bet as they're all full of hot air.

Thanks to global warming the jar could take a short-cut through the Northwest Passage and straight to your doorstep in central London

Once the Hadron Collider project is up-and-running, all bets will be (literally) off, allegedly.

Mini black holes? FFS! Why even risk it?

Mini black holes? FFS! Why even risk it?

To paraphrase Zeity,

A few reasons.

1) As proposed by Jack Haldeman in his novel "Forever Peace"
2) Trade-off between getting a Nobel prize and the end of the world.
