Setting your question aside...

I think it was a week or so ago, I was listening to a right-wing 
host* on the radio went to the trouble of bringing up a Newsweek 
cover story of 25 odd years ago, (or was it TIME?) about how  
scientists were worried about the coming ice-age, and what the 
U.N. ought to do about it, and nobody at the U.N. cared...

* Probably Rush, the global warming issue is one of his typical 
topics.
