Hawking is right to bet on his hypthesis

Prof Stephen Hawking is this morning trying to call in his bet on the inflation theory of the Universe.

This might seem trivial and frivolous, however its a useful strategy.

Perhaps the so called "climate scientists" should place bets with their funding and pensions on the temperature rise in the future. After all they are betting with our future and lives ( an inevitable economic opportunity cost of the billions upon billions of pounds involved are choices about who lives and dies - by the choice to destroy economic value with windmills rather than use it on cancer research for example ).
