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 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.
