An Easy 100,000 Dollars?

... or a fool and their 15$ parted?

I see via Deltoid that JunkScience is offering $100,000US for anyone who can prove the theory of Anthropogenic Global Warming. The problems?
  • there is no such thing as proof in these kinds of scientific theories
  • JunkScience explicitly states they are the sole and subjective arbiter of all terms and conclusions
  • they want proof of the difference in global social, economic and environmental effects between two possible futures 100 years away!
I don't think they even take themselves seriously, it is just a cheap way to provide another shallow talking point.
