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.
