Ireland’s largest bookmaker, Paddy Power, is taking bets on the amount of World CO2 emissions according to the next CDIAC report for the UN.

The last report in 2006 measured CO2 levels at 28.4 billion metric tons and Paddy Power’s odds predict that at the time of the next report the figure will be more than 34 billion tons at odds of 7/4. The bookie is also taking bets on whether the U.S. or the EU will have most Annual CO2 emissions—the U.S. is the favorite at 1/3 with the EU at 2/1.
