Nine months later, still no takers of my $100 trillion challenge
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Why bother? You can prove nothing and rake in millions.

Yup, tax free air and you get rich. I think P.T. Barnum should have thought of this.
In some places governments are banning collection of rainfall. It caused riots in Bolivia, but is being suggested in California and also in Australia.
Soon governments will ban the free use of air. I’m not sure what planet these governments operate on, but it is not Earth.
“Physics professor and climate change expert Dr. Christopher Keating is offering a $30,000 reward to anyone who can disprove that man-made climate change is real.”
#1 No warming in 18y yrs despite large increase in CO2
#2 No tropical heat bubble
#3 IR increase with warming instead of decrease
QED. Where’s my money?
Their proof is, they could not think of anything else. Just submit the proof of corruption, lies, failure of models, lack of warming, no trends in extreme events, its all happened before and tell him you can’t think of anything else since it only exists in computer models.
I’ll offer $30,000. to anyone who can prove that he has a mind…or for that matter that anyone has a mind…
What if I prove to you that YOU have a mind?
I think it’s a fair bet. If you make outrageous claims you need to be able to back them up with proof. Where’s the beef?
AGW is based on lab tests only, because the outside world doesn’t have a control or parallel Earth to test with. Science cannot repeat past climate in a peer review process. Nor can science predict the future with no evidence from the future to test with. AGW is merely an offshoot of Political Science, supplemented by press releases written by liberal arts grads, science fiction writer wannabes.
Last year I argued with Keating over his bogus ‘offer’ in about twenty posts. His ‘bet’ is worthless.
Who decides? Answer: Keating.
Who arbitrates if there is a dispute? Answer: Keating.
I’ve challenged Keating to place the money into an escrow account, to be administered/returned/paid out by a neutral entity agreeable to both the skeptic side, and the climate alarmist crowd. You can guess where that suggestion went. Keating would refuse to pay if global T dropped below Ice Age levels.
Keating doesn’t have an honest bone in his body. It’s fun to paint him into a corner, and you can tell when he’s getting flustered: he threatens to ban you from his blog (I preempted that by repeatedly telling him that’s exactly what he was going to do, and by being über polite).
I finally gave up, for the simple reason that Keating will never pay a dime, no matter what. He’s lying about the whole thing.
But I did have fun repeatedly asking Keating to produce a verifiable, testable, empirical measurement of AGW. But like every other alarmist, he doesn’t have any measurements quantifying the fraction of AGW, out of the total of all global warming. He has no measurements at all of AGW, which remains merely a conjecture.
No one else has any measurements of AGW, either. [I personally think AGW exists, but that it’s so small that the background instrument noise drowns it out; it’s just too minuscule to measure]. And without measurements, everything is simply an opinion. They expect the Western world to self-destruct… based on a conjecture?
That ain’t gonna happen — any more than Keating is gonna pay off on his bogus bet.
