I didn't like screen width.

"RICHARD S. LINDZEN, MIT PROFESSOR OF ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE- On Global Warming Fears: I think it's mainly just like little kids locking themselves in dark closets to see how much they can scare each other and themselves."

"NYE: Are you saying the problem is not serious?

KING: Let him finish.

LINDZEN: I'm saying that we have seen a rate of temperature change that is not outside the range of what the climate does by itself. So --

NYE: You're saying the current rate is consistent with, for example, the ice score records? I that what you're saying, it's about the same speed as the record of the --

LINDZEN: The ice score records, excuse me, have a time resolution of 2,000 years. They couldn't tell you what's going on, on the scale you're talking about.

NYE: I disagree with that statement right there.

LINDZEN: Do you want to make this small wager on it?"

So the bet is for a bottle of scotch. Hmm I haven't heard that the ice cores only having a resolution in terms of temperature of 2000 year. So I searched a bit.
It says this at Wikipedia:
"The length of the record depends on the depth of the ice core and varies from a few years up to 800 kyr for the EPICA core. The time resolution (i.e. the shortest time period which can be accurately distinguished) depends on the amount of annual snowfall, and reduces with depth as the ice compacts under the weight of layers accumulating on top of it. Upper layers of ice in a core correspond to a single year or sometimes a single season. Deeper into the ice the layers thin and annual layers become indistinguishable."

Now from the above I couldn't conclude if NYE or Lindzen wins the bet.
But I'm often informed by others on the board that they know so much more about global warming, so I'm wondering if any of them could provide any evidence to help me understand who will have best chance of winning the bottle of scotch.

Btw changed title length, hoping it changes screen width.
And couple typos.
