After catching loud mouthed global warming skeptics lying about the weather and showing they don’t understand statistics. Nate Silver has issued them a challenge.  For every day where they live that it’s a degree cooler than average, he’ll pay them $25.  For every day it’s a degree warmer, they’ll pay him $25.  If they are right, they’ll make money – maybe a lot.

Course if they’re wrong it would go the other way.

If you know any such – see if they’ll put their money where their mouths are.  Please pass this challenge around.  I predict few if any takers and many very creative explanations as to why they won’t take the bet.
