Old Rocks

Believe the lie Old Rocks? I lived that time period. We were all told the next ice age was coming and coming soon. It was late 60's early 70's to be more accurate.
Nothing accurate about it at all. And I read the NAS 1975 report on this not long after it was published. Are you even aware of that paper? Do you even know what the initials NAS in this context stands for?
Did scientists predict an impending ice age in the 1970s?
1970's ice age predictions were predominantly media based with the majority of scientific papers predicting warming.
The notion that the 1970s scientific consensus was for impending global cooling is incorrect. In actuality, there were significantly more papers in the 1970s predicting warming than cooling.
Scientific studies in the 1970's re global cooling
Most predictions of an impending ice age came from the popular press (eg - Newsweek, NY Times, National Geographic, Time Magazine). As far as peer reviewed scientific papers in the 1970s, very few papers (7 in total) predicted global cooling. Significantly more papers (42 in total) predicted global warming due to CO2.
