Dr Keating -- a professor of physics for over 20 years and author of Undeniable: Dialogues on Global Warming -- is offering a grand prize of $30,000 of his own money to anyone who, using the scientific method, can disprove the existence of man-made climate change. In addition, he is offering a smaller prize of $1000 to anyone who can provide any valid scientific evidence against man-made climate change.

Looks like Dr. Keating was just copying this guy here. JunkScience.com's Ultimate Global Warming Challenge as he was one of the ones who submitted a challenge to the contest. Why's he starting his own?

$500,000 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.

It will never happen. Wingnuts love to blather on and on about how it's false...but when time is there to put up or shut up they couldn't convince anyone with elementary school science they are right. Just like the James Randi foundation put up a million for any evidence at all of anything supernatural. What they got is a bunch of delusional nimrods, hucksters, and mental patients that never made it past the interview (which was made public).

It stopped warming 17 years ago. FACT.

AGW is theory not fact.

Give me my money.

Can the AGW folks prove AGW is a fact? No. In fact, there is much, credible scientific evidence to dispute it.
