Not being a climate scientist, and not realizing in the mid-70's that there WAS such a thing, I'm sure you will forgive me for noticing that all the articles in the «popular press»,
like «Newsweek», «Popular Science», «Popular Mechanics», «Science Digest», newspapers, et al warning us of an
imminent ice age and proposing methods of staving off
disaster were simply being made up out of whole cloth by science editors to drum up circulation while the real Climate Scientists were frantically trying to warn us that we were about to be rendered into cracklings by anthropogenic CO2.
