We all know that Al Gore refuses to debate anyone who disagrees with his theory on the causes of Global Warming. Well now we will find out if he is willing to back up his nonsense with some cash. I am betting that he will not.

But now, Scott Armstrong, a Wharton Marketing professor, wants Al Gore to put his money where his mouth is.

Armstrong has challenged the former vice president to a 10-year bet, in which $10,000 from the two would be set aside in escrow as Gore pits his forecast of how much global temperature will increase during that time against a so-called “naive model,” in which temperature would be expected to stay the same.

The winner would get to donate the $20,000 and accumulated interest to the charity of his choice.

Al Gore has plenty of money so there really is no reason to not take the bet, other than he will be made to look like a bigger fool than he already is, if that is possible. I just doubt that he will, to do so would bring too much publicity to the opposing side of the argument. One thing liberals cannot stand is to see an opposing viewpoint reach the public. Look at how that hate talk radio and Fox News.

There is a site setup regarding the bet, theclimatebet.com. Now let’s see if Al will take the bet.
