Global warming is a political issue. It's been around ever since they
talked
about a new ice age coming back in the 70s. They changed that because of
no
interest and global warming replaced it.

The "ice age" theory was never signed onto by the majority of climatologists
and earth scientists, because it didn't have sufficient data to support it.

Indeed, after some efforts into researching whether there as _any_ support
in the scientific community for the 'imminent ice age', it turns out
that the answer is no: http://www.wmconnolley.org.uk/sci/iceage/

The 'imminent ice age' claim was strictly a construction, to the extent it
existed at all, of media outlets, the most quoted being a newsweek article
from 1975 -- year of a particularly cold winter.

Global warming does have sufficient data and virtually the entire
climatology scientific community agrees that is is real. To pretend
otherwise reminds me of the current debate about evolution in the US, in
which the fundamentalists who favor creationism pretend that there are equal
numbers of reputable scientists on both sides of the question.

If you peruse the young earth creationist sites, you'll find quite
a lot of climate change denial as well.
