I'm tired of hearing about the "New Ice Age". Please read: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php?p=94
Basically, there was a period of cooling from the 40's to the 70's, but the majority of scientists studying it said that there wasn't enough information to make any predictions about the future of the climate. Of course, there were a few nutjob scientists who thought that the end of the world was coming, but none of them blamed it on the effects of man. Once the newspapers and fear-merchants got hold of it, they blew it all out of proportion.
As for people "inventing" climate change, have you actually looked at the data? They are pretty conclusive. Climate change is happening, and it's happening now, whether or not you actually believe in it.
