Just read the thread on global warming a bit further down and it's certainly a hot topic (sorry, couldn't resist!)
But here's something to consider.
In 1988 Thatcher founded the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change.
Their job wasn't to research climate change, but to prove global warming was man made. She campaigned tirelessly to governments around the world that the earth was getting hotter, and that C02 emissions and industry was responsible.
She was a huge advocate of nuclear power, had well documented issues with Britains coal industry and a reluctance to rely on middle eastern oil or Russian gas.
She basically told a massive lie, with no significant scientific evidence to support her claims. But given her scientific background, people believed her.
In 2003 she reversed her opinion. Writing in her book, Statecraft, she said she very much doubts that global warming is man made, and that solar activity and other natural factors are responsible.
What I find incredible is nobody seems to care.
Just another example of how the worlds leaders can manipulate the masses to achieve their goals.
