Fun fact: None-one ever said DDT was banned. What WAS said is that people who use DDT do not receive Government/US funding. Try again, dipshit.
Fun Fact: It IS only 1% of the glaciers that are melting/receeding in the world, as of 2004. The majority of the 100's of 1000's of glaciers around the world are growing in size.
Fun Fact: Current computer models (1995-2004) of the Environment are being found to be as accurate as computer models made in 1980. In other words, up to 400% off target in the "world is not getting warming" direction.

As stated, the world began to warm in the 1850's, not in the 20th century. This is again after a 400 year long drop in world temperature. 1000's of scientisis have also failed to bring real-world models and evidence proving the idea that the world is becoming warmer and that humans are to blame. Other models created by scientists NOT funded by either a Government agency nor an Environmental agency state that sea levels *may* rise as much as 20 feet...by the year 3000. Definately NOT in the next 50 to 100 years.
Also, 1000's of scientists also once believed in something called Eugenics less than one hundred years ago. You know, people like Alexander Bell, Sir Francis Galton, Lewis Terman, Irving Fisher, William Castle, Adolf Meyer, W.E.B. DuBois, Marcus Garvey, etc. This fraudulent science was taught in all of the U.S. and European schools and Universities (back when a University meant a collection of the greatest minds in the world) and was supported by the public and the worlds' Goverments, even though there was never a single piece of factual data to support the idea (exactly like Global warming, mind you). Of course, anyone who raised the slightest voice in opposition to Eugenics were immediantely silenced, much like opponents to Global Warming today, hmm. After World War II the entire theory was dropped by every nation except Russia, which finally dropped Eugenics in 1960.
What is Eugenics? Creating better, healthier humans through selective breeding and either locking away or terminating the "outcasts" of humanity. Who were the "outcasts"? The poor, the deaf, the blind, the non-white, the Jewish, the retarded, those with or has family histories of medical problems, etc.
Again: 1000's of scientists once believed in locking away and/or terminating people they found "unwanted" in broad definition, exactly as how people believe in Global warming today, with the same lack of factual and scientific evidence to support the idea that the "unwanted people" will destroy humanities genetic code as scientists lack regarding global warming today.

If you want references, then one of the best places to find 20 pages worth is at the end of the book "State of Fear" by Michael Crichton - a book which in and of itself is being argued over on both sides of the global warming controversy.
