JunkScience.com's Ultimate Global Warming Challenge

Well this should be easy. All you have to do is prove that global warming is real and caused by human activity.

Ah, you do have to use science though: but that shouldn't be a problem given the "consensus" and all that.

Can't wait to see the first entry. Any entry come to that. Problem with global warming is the same for all ecomyths: asserting it's so, doesn't make it so.

A lie is a lie: doesn't matter how often or how loudly it is repeated. Saying it is, doesn't mean it is -- especially in science.

No use getting upset with me: write out your proof, send it in and collect $100,000: much more productive and creative. But again, that's another thing about critics -- they don't actually create anything of value.

Side bet: more people criticise the contest (and/or its sponsors) than actually submit entries.
