A physics professor is so fed up with the claims made by ?climate change deniers? that he has launched a ?$10,000 Global Warming Skeptic Challenge.?

The challenge issued by Dr. Christopher Keating, a professor who previously taught at the University of South Dakota and the U.S. Naval Academy, according to a news release, will award prize money to anyone who uses the scientific method to prove that human activity has not been a factor leading to climate change.

Keating, who published the e-book ?Undeniable: Dialogues on Global Warming,? wrote on his blog that he would be the final judge of any entries and would provide his comments ?on why any entry fails to prove the point.?

?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,? Keating wrote. ?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.?

Keating admitted his bias though, writing that he is sure he will never have to whip out his checkbook ?because it can?t be proven.?

?The scientific evidence for global warming is overwhelming and no one can prove otherwise,? Keating said.


Some in the comments accused Keating of having an inability to judge fairly because he has ?strong opinions on the subject and a direct financial vested interest in not awarding the $10,000.? But Keating told the College Fix he is ?stuck with having to be honest about it.?

?If I am a fraud, then I will be held up as an example of how climate scientists everywhere are frauds,? he told the College Fix.

In addition to the $10,000 challenge, Keating also issued a lesser $1,000 challenge for anyone who could provide ?valid scientific evidence indicating man-made global warming is not real.? This latter challenge isn?t to disprove man-made global warming but just evidence against it.

Keating refuted his first submission, saying it was disqualified from the $10,000 prize by not being a scientific proof. It failed the second challenge because Keating said it used ?cherry-picked? data.

To his second submission, Keating ultimately decided that while he couldn?t refute any of the work from the scientist featured in the entry, but he did contest that it showed man-made global warming wasn?t real. Basically, Keating argued that just because historical evidence shows climate change occurred naturally ?does not detract at all from the data that shows we have changed the climate today with our emissions.?

All in all, Keating accused ?the climate deniers of today? of waging a campaign ?very similar to the one waged by tobacco advocates to deny a link between smoking and lung cancer.?

I'll be waiting to see one of you guys claim this prize being you guys have facts and stuff..

Finally, a good idea. But you know what? The Climate change deniers will still believe their own hot air (ha) and claim scientists are wrong, the same way psychics believe their own crap and dismiss science and challengers like Amazing Randi.

isn't that a bit like offering a million dollars to prove there is no God?

And pot, meet kettle, with this gem

It failed the second challenge because Keating said it used “cherry-picked” data.

The right wing seems to have loads of scientific proof according to our local forum warriors. This is their big chance to make money from it.

what does right wing have to do with it?

True, as positive evidence may turn up in the future. For example, there's presently no known evidence whatsoever showing Britain has an endemic population of pixies. However, there could be a family of them living in a mushroom in a village outside of Blackburn or Brighton. I can't demonstrate that isn't the case.

Don't play dumb.. the only people that deny Global Warming are Right Wing talking heads and their minions. The right has made it a political issue every since they first started attacking Al Gore on the subject.

Meanwhile scientific evidence can be presented for reduction of the ice sheets. Melting of the glaciers, warming of the oceans and a world wide increase of the planets temperature.

In other words you have no proof so we can all assume you will not soon be $10k richer?

by disproving a negative? yeah, I'd like to see that too.

[brassmonkey]

it can't be proven you cant predict nature it flows unknown to us. that's the beauty of it

correct, I have no proof of a negative, you got me there

Next up: is there proof there is no such thing as aliens living inside chocolate bars? Stay tuned as crockett wears you down inside 4 posts with his stupidity, and claims a win.

But we have lots of data that shows the earth is warming and that the ice caps are melting. You deny this?

See we have lots of evidence that shows the Earth is warming yet none that shows the Earth is not. See where the problem in your beliefs run into issues?

we don't know maybe the caps melting is part of a normal cycle. channel jesus and ask

"award prize money to anyone who uses the scientific method to prove that human activity has not been a factor leading to climate change."

For a scientist, this bloke is a right cunt. He'll be claiming next year that because he couldn't possibly pay out that money, it 'proves' than human activity IS why. And dumb cunts all over the world fall for it, and post on message boards. Vegas would have a field day with these guys.

He offered money to both disprove human involvement in global warming and global warming in general. Why does that make you angry?

The argument from the right is that man has no effect on Global Warming. There are also those that claim there isn't any global warming at all, so he offers money to prove either one. This is your big chance to put your proof into action and make money.

The only negative that can't be proven is the fact you guys have no proof of your claims. Meanwhile there is both proof that the Earth is warming and that man is having an effect on it.

[glowlite]

Dammit
I have the proof but I'm kinda busy with my chocolate bars at the moment.

Well someone said my name, so I will chime in

There hasn't been any global warming since 1997: If nothing changes in the next year, we're going to have kids who graduate from high school who will have never seen any "global warming" during their lifetimes. That's right; the temperature of the planet has essentially been flat for 17 years . This isn't a controversial assertion either. Even the former Director of the Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, Phil Jones, admits that it's true. Since the planet was cooling from 1940-1975 and the upswing in temperature afterward only lasted 22 years, a 17 year pause is a big deal. It also begs an obvious question: How can we be experiencing global warming if there's no actual "global warming?"

[12clicks]

I wonder how many decades of no climate change are needed before our least intelligent stop pretending that its happening.

I'm sorry, did I kill another thread with the truth?

[PR_Glen]

there is climate change therefore man must have been the cause.

perfect logic right there...

[seeandsee]

Who will be fucking judge?

No everyone just ignores you because you have been proven wrong on the subject over and over again, yet you still babble on with the same inaccurate information. I proved both you and Robbie wrong on that BS line about the tempeture not rising in the last 20 or 30'years. In the last topic. It has continued to rise you can go check the NOHAA website like I posted in the last topic with the last 20 years of data.

As for this thread, I think it's safe to say not a single one of you will win this $10k.

Ah yes, Climate gate

And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming.

Professor Jones has been in the spotlight since he stepped down as director of the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit after the leaking of emails that sceptics claim show scientists were manipulating data.
The raw data, collected from hundreds of weather stations around the world and analysed by his unit, has been used for years to bolster efforts by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to press governments to cut carbon dioxide emissions.


This from the guy that ran the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit


I think the idiot that started this thread should ask, can you prov e there is a rise in temperature?

Not according to scientific data, or at least the guy in charge of it!

I have the OP on ignore, No reason to talk to him, he thinks conservative values are a disease? Anyways, I stay away from idiots when I can. I just find it funny the people don't get it, even Al Gore bought beach front property after he made everyone scared from this.

I tell Vendillza where to find accurate stats, and his comeback is to post a link to dailymail and whining about Al Gore. I don't think it's possible for someone to put their head in the sand any further than he can.

That is not the issue. Global warming is global warming. Why is not the issue.

My question above is serious.

[Quine]

It's no wonder climate changes because everything changes, only God doesn't change (but causes everything else to change, that's why Aristotle calls him Unmoved mover.

If man causes climate to become worse, why do we think government will find a solution for this when it fails on all other thing (except killing, wars, extortion and stuff like that)?

If anyone is really interested in this whole story about climate, I suggest reading David Friedman's blog
http://daviddfriedman.blogspot.com/

Also, his The Machinery of Freedom is a true gem.

I don't care about climate change, I live 100 m above sea level, if temperature rises 2 C in my lifetime, I'll just adjust my air conditioner.


Damn "eco taxes" are massive in my country. If I pay 8000$ for a used car I'll need to pay 1000$ extra for eco tax. What the fuck will apparatchiks in my country do with that money? Plant 1000$ worth of trees?

[adultchatpay]

Climate is changing, is there an issue?

[baddog]

factor does not mean cause
