I originally wasn’t going to post on this, but a number of people, including Earthbeat’s Mike Tidwell (on whose show I will be appearing today) have sent it to me.

I am skeptical the Arctic will be ice-free this year, but I’m open to any other takers for my bet that it’ll happen by the end of 2020.

Should be a no-brainer for you global coolers out there.
