Most of the posters here are too young to remember the fact that 30 years ago, there was a scientific consensus that a new ice age was coming (caused by humans shockingly enough), and we were all going to die.

This is total rubbish. There was some speculation about it and considerable media coverage. However it was never anything remotely close to a scientific consensus, it was a small minority position. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling

In the 60's the coming ice age was taught as fact in our science classes, along with "duck and cover" as a way to survive Russia's imminent nuclear strike.

It is not the debate of global warming , but the lack of consensus on the issue that arouses my spidey senses. The bonus carbon tax credit/transfer payment initiatives should have anyone over 45 on alert.
