Back then, the big fear of climate change was global cooling (the new ice age). So I suppose that Snow Miser was the big villain then. Now, in this decade, global warming is the big deal, so Mr. Heat Miser is the guy to stop now.

I'll say Syndrome...<^;^>
I like heat better than cold, so always felt more of a kinship with the Heat Miser :-)
That Heat Miser video by Massive Attack was quite creepy...I liked it. And I'm a big fan of that one particular prime time medical show, so thanks for the YouTubes!
Oh, and check Heat Miser's uncanny resemblance to John Gibson, Fox News
He looks like the little villain dude from the Incredibles. A direct rip-off.
LOL He looks like Chris Matthews.
