Global warming..? how many of you think that global warming will be decreased and by how (not the exact number off course) in the following 20 years?

Hmm... the long term trend is up.

Even the most ardent skeptics have been unwilling to bet that temperatures will decline:

In 2005, Annan offered to take Lindzen, the MIT meteorologist, up on his bet that global temperatures in 20 years will be cooler than they are now. However, no wager was ever settled on because Lindzen wanted odds of 50-to-1 in his favor. This meant that for a $10,000 bet, Annan would have to pay Lindzen the entire sum if temperatures dropped, but receive only $200 if they rose.

“Richard Lindzen’s words say that there is about a 50 percent chance of [global] cooling,” Annan wrote about the bet. “His wallet thinks it is a 2 percent shot. Which do you believe?” 20% 2 Votes 10% 1 Vote
  • @ Anthony ,
    I think yu got it quite wrong dude, Its the %26quot;first world%26quot; countries which are responsible for the mess that we r witnessing these days .. and these developed countries became one ..only after burning millions of tonnes of hydrocarbons over all this industrialization period... And in the third world countries, most of the stuff that developing countries are manufactuing is something that the developed countries are asking them to make and outsoursing to them because of same or better quality at a cheaper cost.
    So, if yu really want to make sure that global warming reduces .. better ask the US to take the lead .. rather than hide behind some silly reason ..understood only to themselves.
    The countries who are all developed (and they reached this stage all thru burning charcoal, my dear frend) have to take measures right now to stop the menace they started .. then when the third world countries come in the bracket of developed countries ..they should too take up the cause.. 0% 0 Votes
