The rest is in Antarctica. You eyes also can't see carbon dioxide or climate. Also it wasn't a wager, it was a challenge to scientifically prove man-made global warming. This all may be moot anyway. The report I read today suggests that we've entered the next cycle of solar activity and we are now heading toward a Mundar Minimum as we did in the 1700s. No amount of carbon will have much effect on that amount of cooling. The same scientists who brought you global warming are about to spread the fear of the next ice age. At least, you'll be able to see your breath all the time. What your eyes will also you tell you is that all the ice in the areas you listed make up only 10% of the earth’s ice.

Glaciers severly retreating in Chile and Argentina, as well as in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Norway Swesden, Finland and Russia and possible summertime elimination of the north polar ice cap within the near future set off my alarm bells. Making wagers on such matters is not just unprofessional, but utterly childish. My eyes don’t lie.
