About what ... the whole put-up or shut-up scenario? Here's your big chance to make an easy $125,000.
Do you have an opinion that you want to discuss/defend on this subject, or is your comment just a troll?

The problem is, I can’t tell if you’re real or a parody. Before I can form an opinion on your real position, I'd like to know in more detail what it is. Do you seriously believe that Steve Milloy is going to give anybody $125,000? Do you seriously believe he has any more credibility on this subject than, say, the IPCC? Do you seriously believe that the outcome of this "contest" has any scientific significance whatsoever? Do you seriously believe that scientific knowledge is determined by a contest set up by some guy on the web?
Would you also find it scientifically interesting if Philip Morris hired someone to put up a website asking for proof that cigarette smoking causes cancer, and nobody won the contest?
Would you also find it scientifically interesting if Jimmy Swaggart hired someone to put up a contest telling evolutionists to put up or shut up, and nobody won the contest?
Would you also find it scientifically interesting if a flat-earther created a web contest for round-earthers to submit their “proof”, and nobody won the contest?
Is this how you form your personal scientific beliefs, by surfing the web for contests?
If you answer all these questions in the affirmative, then you’ve won my contest, and “proven” to my satisfaction that this thread is a parody. If not, then maybe there’s a little fodder for discussion somewhere here.
