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.

Blew eyes! One blew east and the other blew north!
When was the climate ever NOT changing?
- there I have disproved man-made climate change
So far he owes several people on this thread $10k. Each.
I actually know of a man who offered 10K to any chemist if they could come up with a formula to a specific type of asphalt. He came up with it, and got his 10K.
The man who now owns the formula became one of richest men in NJ because of it.
Why? I'll give him $20,000 if he can PROVE man made climate change! What happened to the global warming charge?
You’ve been out-bid! :)
If I had the time, I think it would be fun to poke around with him by asking him for the exact wording of his ‘challenge’ and then dismantling it word by word as clearly lacking definition. It wouldn’t be all that hard to tie him up endlessly… unfortunately, it would tie up the one poking around too and thus it all becomes a big waste of time.
You can't, and this fraud knows it. He is just being a left wing a--hole.
By countering with TWO positives, then use one to eliminate the negative? The end result is then - a positive.
Any competent physicist that has a full understanding of the laws of thermodynamics, should be able to polish this off with time to spare in less than an hour.
Earth is CONTINUOUSLY radiating heat from the dark side of the planet, as it turns away from the sun, in its daily rotation. Not only is the earth radiating heat passively, it is also actively convecting heat up through the atmosphere, using water vapor as the medium. Water and water vapor, and the solid form, ice, have most peculiar properties when changing from solid to liquid to gas. There is a TREMENDOUS amount of heat energy either absorbed or released when changing from one form to another, and as a gas, water vapor is one of the lighter components in the atmosphere, allowing it to rise to spectacular heights.
The higher water vapor rises, the colder it gets, until it freezes into tiny ice crystals. This is a tremendous transfer of heat energy, which then continues to radiate off from the dark side of the earth. The now-chilled ice crystals descent in the atmosphere and in doing so, re-absorb all the heat they had given up on changing from water vapor to ice crystals. In fact, the earth is almost exactly on a zero-balance of heat received from ALL sources, and the amount that is re-radiated off into space.
The little bit that is supposed to be attributed to anthropogenic sources (and it is MINISCULE, in the grand scheme of things), does not even have a measurable statistical effect in the overall warmth or chill of the biosphere in which all living things exist on this planet.
The supposed vector to which this “global warming” is attributed to, carbon dioxide, is insignificant as a heat-trapping component, and would make no identifiable alteration to the overall heat in the atmosphere and hydrosphere were the compound at ten times its current level - carbon dioxide is continuously being altered from organic carbohydrate materials and mineral deposits, to free oxygen and free CO2 and back again. Relatively rapidly, it may be added. And carbon dioxide, being a relatively heavy gas, does not rise to very high levels in the atmosphere, unlike water vapor.
All this is in the college-level textbooks, but rarely is the interrelationship ever explained to the non-technical layman.
Why would anyone deny humans can change the weather? The question is how much, does it matter, and what are the alternatives?
Penn and Teller’s “BS” show has a good case about why global warming is BS, even interviewing the founder of the Weather Channel who was drummed out for a simple chart explaining why CO2 isn’t the cause of global warming.
There’s an interesting science article out this week about how the world had 10X as much CO2 in Earth’s ancient history but wasn’t a whole lot warmer. They said that weathering of rocks was accelerated by the warmth, preventing run-away overheating.
This blog by a science expert focuses entirely debunking on the global warming BS: http://joannenova.com.au/
And then there’s the government altering the data itself to prove its hypothesis.
One of my favorite horror movies. Prelude to “The Alien”. The scene of the monster trying to scratch thru the hatch cover to next level, was awesome.

Hey dude just go outside, walk around for a half an hour, see if you can remember when you were younger, and send me the cheque. Thanks, Pete
