I've got 50 on Bangladesh

Only in America. we can't seem to come to terms as a society on how to deal with global warming, and even a certain few don't believe it's for real, but we sure can bet on it.

BetUs.com recently began taking bets about which city will be swamped by rising seas first. A few are even betting on a part of New York City. Many bettors believe that Manhattan will be swamped by New Year's Eve 2011 (above).

Business has been a bit brisk - over 3,000 people placed bets during the first few days the cite began taking action on global warming scenarios.

I'm really out of superlatives on this one - I've got nothing. Other than to say it's all too ridiculous.
