A chilly response

Excerpt from this article:

A Durango man skeptical of global warming has given the opposing side 20 days to put up or shut up: Roger Cohen is willing to bet $5,000 that the average temperature of the Earth will be cooler in 2017 than 2007.

As of Thursday, however, there were no takers.

"Nothing so far," Roger W. Cohen reported Thursday. "If they're willing to write letters but not bet, they shouldn't be taken seriously. They want to spend tens of trillions of other people's money. Surely, putting up $5,000 of their own is not too much to ask."

Judging by this article and this article, it looks like Cohen knows what he's talking about.
