When I was a kid in the early 70's we were told the ice age was coming.

Luckily I had a very wise uncle who saw how worried I was as a child and explained to me how as long as time has been around there have always been people who are predicting the end. "Don't let that ever deter you..." he said. "The older you get the more you realize these people come and go and they always will." Now, I am not saying to disregard research and debate - although one side clearly wants that done, but when I think of scare tactics affecting world economies (by the way anybody seen the pollution levels in China and Russia) I have certain images come to mind. What a difference 30 years can juxtapose:
