That's what I love so much about this site - you ask a question and you're accused of having your brain washed. I saw the story on this betting website and said to my self, "Hmmm, it might be interesting to see how much people really believe in all the global warming hype." And by the way, yes, I'm willing to gamble that none of these things are going to happen.

poor guy you should have had just your ears washed ,not your brain as well
skeptisism has been carefully manufactured by subliminal propaganda
scientists who get paid by politicians give reports that suit the political scenario,
to admit to Global warming means to have to do something about it .
this means changing Industry ,changing lifestyles ,
damaging present profitable operations ,change cuts into profits ,new laws, new machinery,tighter controls on contaminants and methods of operations .all costly concepts ,all hurting the owners of big business and they pay the politicians
Global warming is far worse than the public is allowed to know .
global warming cannot be stopped
it can be slowed down but at great cost
we are being lied to from all sides ,and the streets are full of guys who buy the buls*it that they are fed

There are better ways to make a bet for or against global climate change. For instance, six of my friends who live near the sea shore on Cape Cod have recently have their home insurance cancelled. four of them have alread told me they are selling out and moving to high ground. If you think global warming is a hoax then you can pick up some prime properties on the Cape at bargain prices, as long as you don't want flood insurance.
If it turns out in five years that the global warming guys are right, then your property value will go down to nothing. If they turn out to be wrong then you will have some of the most valuable property in the USA that you bought for a song!
Put your money where your mouth is!

gambling is so childish, and you chose the leading skeptic of global warming, he does it for the notoriety and money.
Lindzen charged "oil and coal interests $2,500 a day for his consulting services; [and] his 1991 trip to testify before a Senate committee was paid for by Western Fuels and a speech he wrote, entitled 'Global Warming: the Origin and Nature of Alleged Scientific Consensus,' was underwritten by OPEC."

The odds they're offering are ridiculous and are, as had been said, designed to spearate suckers from their money.
I doubt there's a climate scientist on the planet that would agree that anything as exaggerated is going to happen.
