Before I add information on Deming's peer-reviewed paper opposing the anthropogenic global warming theory, I invite discussion from all my scientific friends who read my every edit.

In 1995, I had a short paper published in the prestigious journal Science (Deming, 1995). I reviewed how borehole temperature data recorded a warming of about one degree Celsius in North America over the last 100 to 150 years. I closed the manuscript with what seemed to me to be a remarkably innocuous and uncontroversial statement:

“A cause and effect relationship between anthropogenic activities and climatic warming cannot be demonstrated unambiguously at the present time” (Deming, 1995, p. 1577). [1]

This is apparently the one and only paper contradicting the prevailing view; it may have a bearing on the editorial in Science recently that 0.000% of peer-reviewed scientific papers disagree with the AGW theory. --Uncle Ed (talk) 17:14, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
