Physicist Offers $30,000 Reward To Anyone Who Can Disprove Climate Change
CBS News Local DC ^ | July 3, 2014

Posted on 07/03/2014 4:29:02 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Physics professor and climate change expert Dr. Christopher Keating is offering a $30,000 reward to anyone who can disprove that man-made climate change is real.

Keating, a professor of two decades at the University of South Dakota and U.S. Naval Academy, has challenged climate change skeptics to prove that man-made global warming is not real. Keating is prepared to offer $30,000 of his own money for the “Global Warming Skeptic Challenge,” which has an application deadline of July 31.

“I have heard global warming skeptics make all sorts of statements about how the science doesn’t support claims of man-made climate change,” Keating announced on his blog. “I have found all of those statements to be empty and without any kind of supporting evidence. I have, in turn, stated that it is not possible for the skeptics to prove their claims. And, I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is.”

And this guy is supposedly a Physics professor. Sad what this says about the state of science in this country.

He should make his check out to Burt Rutan, who has already done that. In effect, he is betting on a game that is already over.

I think it’s incumbent on the people seeking to imposes radical and disastrous measures down on us to prove THEIR case. Not the other way around.

exactly,
quite smart what he has done...its real (he doesnt have to prove anything), prove it isnt. he has turned science on its head.

so anyone who takes this up is already lost, because its real, you are just trying to prove it isnt. also let me guess, everyone will loose, thereby proving again its real.

he gets a triple win, acceptance that its real, you tried to disprove it and cant, look here is more proof, i still have my 30k.

Did he ever think of proving it? Or debating it?

Well, we have Einstein’s equation to cheat off of.

Climate Change.....hmmmmm......we’ll call that C

Now, C has to equal something. Einstein had a constant. What do we have that is constant? Oh....Obama is constantly full of s**t. That sentence is too long, so we have to shrink it to one letter. Let’s see.......one Obama full of s**t can be called an Obamit. That can be shortened to an O. That’s pretty good. Now, we need another letter. Einstein had mass....what can we use?
Money! There’s the answer! We’ll use an M to stand for money. Now we have the equation!
I hereby call this blueunicorn6’s Theory Of Relativescomingtodinner....

C = MO squared

Where’s my money?

$30K? That’s chicken feed?

Think of the billions we’ve paid these morons to show that man made global warming is real and they still haven’t done it.

Urban areas are like ovens. Out in the boonies we have pleasant cool evenings in summer and I love it! The radiant heat from city structures keep the temps up late into the night. Move to the sticks.

OK. How about $30,000 to prove UFOs do or don't exist? $30,000 to prove bigfoot does or does not exist?

One can, if reliable data is available (a significant if) prove that climate change may or may not be occurring, but to prove an anthropomorphic component is not much different a task than the UFO challenge.

Too many nutty professors are employed by nutty tax-supported governments, both state and national....and this guy is living proof on both levels.

I'll give you $30,000 to prove me wrong.

Man made global warming has already been PROVEN to be a hoax. Read the many thousands of emails released by the East Anglia University hackers. It clearly shows collusion between the “scientist” and climate change advocates (Especially Michael Mann of Penn State hockey stick infamy). The cooked the books to get the results they wanted. IT IS ALL A HUGE STINKING LIE!

Rather, they should be required to prove climate change is caused by man. Everyone knows the climate changes. Nothing natural is static.

Know what no one mentions about the 30k? It is all grant money given to him by the government which means it is our money.
