re: here ya go, big guy
2:1 odds that averaged global temp goes up instead of down in 10 years measured by USA National Climatic Data Center data.
Well according to my post a couple up I give a higher chance of temperatures going up than going down, but there is a chance that a volcano will erupt causing temperatures to lower. For instance I said: "If in the next Century global temperature is -.2 C or +.5 C I don't think this is significant."
And I'll say again, it's not significant.
But let's test this a bit, if you had made this bet in 1989 on June 9 and the bet was for 7 years, then you would lost, correct? Regardless if you talking trends or comparing year to year, correct?
It seems to me that 2006 will probably end being cooler than 2005 or 1989.
