REMEMBER GLOBAL COOLING?

All the evidence appears to point to a warming trend on our planet, but I have to admit the cynic in me still is somewhat suspicious of all this hype because I have been through the global cooling crisis. I have watched Gore's environmental epic and two counter arguments--this is beginning to look more and more political. Are both politicians and scientists engaged in some kind of group think? I guess I still haven't forgiven the scientific community for voting (!) to disestablish Pluto as a planet.
