    Well that was just a moment of unrestrained levity. But seriously, I think it is for the acolyte to collect the predictions. A month ahead or whatever, and then rank them for us here as winners or losers. Skimming a few off the top just doesn't seem like an objective assessment.

    I don't see the audit promised by the thread headline. Is my browser hiding something again?

    Hummm, I wonder if Las Vegas has some climate or weather gambling game?

    Of course there is always the option of buying real estate closer to the current sea level.

    a few climate-change bets have been highly publicized.It seems easy to get bogged down, though, in disagreements about what T records to use .

    This article

    Place Your Bets on Global Warming - TheStreet

    makes stock-pick suggestions based on whether one feels highly confident one way or the other.

    Sunspots apparently rarely get this big:

    NASA's SDO Sees Giant January Sunspots

    So there you go. A solar expert like our subject here would certainly have seen this coming. Right?

    Also, not quite what one would expect leading into the quiet sun/little ice age scenario. So for me it's a twofer.

    Of course, if it collapses and leads to a coronal mass ejection that spanks the earth, it would wipe this smile right off my face.

    Hoping not to distract from Corbyn auditing, but Bob asked about climate betting. If you put this into an internet search tool

    boslough-poster-agu-2012.pdf

    You can download it and see about Intrade. Boslough indicates that he would update during the 2013 meeting, but this appears not to have happened. He talked about the Chelyabinsk airburst, more aligned with his primary research.
