[extropy-chat] Betting on Global Warming

[Robin Hanson]

Several of you have speculated on legal loopholes.  The biggest one
at the moment is that corporations have a lot of discretion to base
bonuses on whatever they like.  So internal corporate markets are being
pursued by a dozen or two companies at the moment.  The other possible
loophole I keep thinking about is a charity.  If the charity helps
match bettors, but doesn't take any sort of cut or fee for helping
those bettors, it seems possible that the charity itself would not
be prosecuted.
