In 2004 Global Warming Theory (otherwise knows as the greenhouse gas theory, AGW, the CO2 theory, or the enhanced greenhouse theory of climate change) actually
existed on Wikipedia.
It seems several times,
in 2004 especially, there were long edit wars and of course WC was involved, to remove any mention of theory from the global warming page. Even
the greenhouse theory was removed. Even the article about the originator of the theory, Arrhenius, had the word theory removed.
In 1896 he published a long memoir “On the Influence of Carbonic Acid in
the Air Upon the Temperature of the Ground,” in which he developed a
theory for the explanation of the glacial periods and other great
climatic changes, based on the ability of carbon dioxide to absorb the
infrared radiation emitted from the earth’s surface. Although the theory
was based on thorough calculations, it won no recognition from
geologists. In 1898 Arrhenius wrote a remarkable paper on the action of
cosmic influence on physiological processes.
