Will prediction-site Pollyvote correctly predict the winner of US president elections on Nov 3 2020?
https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-55312272

Joe Biden has said it is "time to turn the page" after his presidential election victory was confirmed by the US electoral college.

What happens next?
The results of the voting process will be sent to Washington DC and formally counted in a joint session of Congress on 6 January presided over by Vice-President Mike Pence.
That will pave the way for Joe Biden to be sworn in as president on 20 January.
Last month, President Trump said he would leave office in January if Mr Biden were affirmed as the election winner by the electoral college. Nevertheless, he has continued to make unsubstantiated claims of election fraud.

Will SPICE (Stratospheric Particle Injection for Climate Engineering) project start testing in 2012?
In May 2012 this first field test was cancelled altogether in agreement of all project partners.[5] Dr. Matthew Watson, the projectร‚ยดs lead scientist, named two reasons for the cancellation: First, involved scientists had submitted patents for similar technology, presenting a potentially significant conflict of interest. In addition to that, concerns about the lack of government regulation of such geoengineering projects were raised.
Although the field testing was cancelled, the project panel decided to continue the lab-based elements of the project.
