Category: Other
Tags: Global Temp, Science

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the data for the Global Land-Ocean Temperature Index for August 2024 shows an increase of less than 1.15°C when it is released. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

An anomaly of less than 1.15°C for August 2024 is necessary and sufficient to resolve this market to "Yes" immediately once the data becomes available regardless of whether the figure for August 2024 is later revised.

The primary resolution source for this market will be the figure found in the table titled "GLOBAL Land-Ocean Temperature Index in 0.01 degrees Celsius" under the column "Aug" in the row "2024" (https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata_v4/GLB.Ts+dSST.txt). If NASA's "Global Temperature Index" is rendered permanently unavailable, other information from NASA may be used. If no information for August 2024 is provided by NASA by December 1, 2024, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve "Yes".

Outcome: No
