Global warming is not a scientific fact and its advocates have shaped the debate into a religious cult that seeks to root out any heretics who do not share this belief.

I've posted on a few of these forums, and find that the consensus here believes that climate change isn't happening but instead is some sort of massive left-wing conspiracy. I generally trust the research of the vast majority of climate scientists on this, that temperatures are increasing and will continue to do so as long as we keep pumping out these gases, just as I trust the opinion of doctors that smoking is bad for me, or mechanics when I'm getting my car fixed. But you believe differently.

I smell a business opportunity here. Simpily as a free-market advocate (not a socialist) who sees global warming as a pretty big threat.

So, how about a wager? Would anyone be willing to bet with me, even money, that global temperatures in 2006 will not be warmer than the 20th century mean average? We'd need to find a legitimate medium that handles these sorts of wagers and agree on the most commonly accepted source for global temperature measurements and the historic average. You'd have a chance to put your money where your mouth is, as would I.
