I understand. When I was young the scientific consensus was that hundreds of years of data showed the earth was cooling at an alarming rate. But as factors changed so did the theories. What caused earth to warm up and thaw out from the Ice Age, fossil fuel burning?

I'm not sure when this supposedly was

In the 1970's, there was a fringe theory that a new Ice Age was coming, but it was not held by the majority of scientists.

THE MYTH OF THE 1970s GLOBAL COOLING SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS

Climate science as we know it today did not exist in the 1960s and 1970s. The integrated enterprise embodied in the Nobel Prizewinning work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change existed then as separate threads of research pursued by isolated groups of scientists.

More importantly than showing the falsehood of the myth, this review describes how scientists of the time built the foundation on which the cohesive enterprise of modern climate science now rests.

Lie.

Now show us the fake Time Magazine cover you got that from.

So we can laugh at you.
