I don't know, but I wish there was a way to bet against global warming. Only problem is I suspect AGW alarmists know better than to bet their OWN money on their predictions.
It's possible The prediction for the next 5 years is for warmth near or maybe taking the place of some of the top ten warmest years In the US I believe it will top 2012
Are you suggesting the prediction is wrong, based on temperatures to date it would seem a pretty good prediction, although we are only 4 months into the year (in terms of data
2012
Jan - 23rd warmest
Feb - 22nd warmest
Mar - 17th warmest
Apr - 5th warmest
2013
Jan - 9th warmest
Feb - 9th warmest
Mar - 10th warmest
Apr - 13th warmest
On the Jan-Apr data (global - land & Ocean) NOAA have the first 4 months of 2012 as the 15th warmest on record and the first 4 months of 2013 as the 8th warmest,

So suggesting 2013 will be warmer than 2012 seems (on the data so far) a pretty solid prediction, what do you offer as counter to this the usual denier tea leaf reading from Anthony Watts or perhaps a rant about nazi conspiracies from Lord Mockingtone
edit
So 3 thumbs down for CR & Peg and 2 for me, but not one denier brave enough to offer a counter, could that be because you know you don't have one

"Antarctic ice will be record winter extent"
Sorry that's not really much of a prediction (assuming you mean sea ice) as that has made small increases each year for the last 4-5 years due to cooling run off water from melting glaciers, deniers often play this game of trying to reference Antarctic sea ice while ignoring Antarctic glacial ice, did you look at the above GLACIAL ice graph. You seem to also be doing your best to ignore the year to date temperatures for 2012 and 2013 how you get 2013 will be cooler when it is well above 2012 is frankly beyond me.
As for this "Arctic summer ice extent will be more than 2012"
Umm, what can I say 2012 was low year and so far as Summer has indeed returned to the NH, sea ice in the Arctic has run below the 2012 level from mid Mar to mid May

We certainly can't have a new record low each year but again based on the data so far you seem to not be very good at even ball park guess on these subjects.
Long term of course what is happening in the Arctic is pretty plain to see and the rate it is shrinking is ~4 times the rate the Antarctic sea ice is growing but again denier try to ignore that as they continue to play their sad game of bury your head in the sand.

But I'm going to archive this question and will look at it again in early 2014, good luck with your denial
We will see
I have no idea, but don't you think you may be jumping the gun a bit? The year is not even half over.
A quick glance at January-April of each year makes it appear that they are well on track to being correct, although again, the year is less than half over.
2013 isn't over.
and what does he think now?
