2027 isn't that far away. Would you like to bet we are still fine in 2027?

I 100% agree our goose is cooked someday, in probably another 1,000 years and for some other reason.

Fine as in trying the warm waters of the tropical beach Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station? Or fine as in the memorial of the country once known as the Netherlands?

We could bet on either of those outcomes by 2027. You pick which one. I'm good to bet up to 1k USD.

- You win you got a planet still running despite tearing it to pieces.
