Contest Offers $100,000 Reward Proving Manmade Climate Change

Contest Offers $100,000 Reward Proving Catastrophic Manmade Climate Change

"Here's the opportunity for global warming alarmists to flaunt all the conclusive evidence that they say exists," said Steve Milloy, founder and publisher of JunkScience.com, the sponsor of the Ultimate Global Warming Challenge.

"Al Gore says the debate on global warming is 'over' and the UN global warming panel places at 90 percent the probability that humans are causing harmful climate change through greenhouse gas emissions," said Milloy.

"If such claims are true and it's such a no-brainer that manmade carbon dioxide emissions are wreaking havoc on the climate," Milloy observed, "Then here's a chance for any scientist in the alleged "consensus" on climate change to pick up an easy $100,000."

"There's no excuse for not entering," Milloy offered, "since the winner, if any, could always donate the prize money to his favorite charity."

Contestants will also get a free DemandDebate.com T-shirt that says, "I'm more worried about the intellectual climate."


CHALLENGE
$100,000 will be awarded to the first person to prove, in a scientific manner, that humans are causing harmful global warming. The winning entry will specifically reject both of the following two hypotheses:
UGWC Hypothesis 1
Manmade emissions of greenhouse gases do not discernibly, significantly and predictably cause increases in global surface and tropospheric temperatures along with associated stratospheric cooling.

UGWC Hypothesis 2
The benefits equal or exceed the costs of any increases in global temperature caused by manmade greenhouse gas emissions between the present time and the year 2100, when all global social, economic and environmental effects are considered.
