*****************************************************************************
at around the same time that Global Warming the exhibit was put together, I
was assigned an article by the Society for Industrial and Applied
Mathematicians on the topic of massively parallel data processing as it applied to modeling
climate change. I interviewed a number of applied mathematicians, including
one at NCAR in Colorado, etc. At that time (about 12-13 years ago) there was
in fact a great deal of disagreement within the scientific community as to the
validity of the global warming theory. In fact, several of the
mathematicians I interviewed agreed that, since an actual model of global climate change
was then virtually impossible to create, it would be a LONG time before "proof"
of climate change could be presented.
None seemed absolutely sure that climate change was a reality.
