I'll bet $500. Although given your time frame I'll want interest on the amount as well.
Just for a thought experiment, get NOAA's temperature recordings in the US for the last 140 years - 1860 on. Now do a moving average analysis. You'll see there is a steady upwards trend since the recordings were first kept. Now look at the measurements over the last 50 years. You'll see that the temperature increase is statistically significant. now plot that 140 year curve against the output of greenhouse gasses for the same time period. Guess what there is very little difference between the two curves. To me that strongly supports the current climate change hypotheses. Moreover when reputable scientific organizations like NOAA,and the IOS all support the global climate change theory, that seals it for me. given teh weight of scientific opinion vs a few crank climate deniers, I'll go with the scientific consensus.
