From Peter Basford
While reading of Jules May and Andrew Collins's bet on whether global mean temperature would exceed that of 2015 within 10 years (Letters, 22 October) I saw the Italian RAI 24 news station stating that 2016 was well on course to break the 2015 record.
The most exciting aspect of the bet may be how many post-Brexit pounds May will need to pay the $1000, early next year.
