i have been looking to place some bets on global warming. i would like to make 3 bets of $20 each on each day of the year next year and future years. My bets will be that the high temp on each future day in 3 cities will be no higher than the average high for that same date for the previous 10 years. I would pick three cities in the USA, probably Monterey,CA. Charleston, SC and Little Rock,AR. and bet $20 on each for a total bet of $60 per day. Does anybody know where i can get these bets covered?

according to al gore and what is being taught in our schools the science behind global warming is settled so somebody should be willing to give me about a million to one odds on these bets but i can’t find anybody that wants to bet at even odds.

the feds could finance their war on global warming by booking these bets and taking their vig if they could find some bettors to bet on the side of their “settled science”.

Don't give them any new ideas. They're probably ticked that the states have lotteries and the Feds don't. (A lottery is a bet on the players' aggregate stupidity, which is a sure thing if there ever was one.)
