Citation very badly needed. 1970 was less global cooling than it was Erich von Däniken's Chariot of the Gods.
Global cooling was a niche theory that got a brief spike of publicity. It was NOT the scientific consensus, or the majority of the news reporting on the topic, or even widely known.
Chariot of the Gods was, on the other hand, quite well known at the time.

- fsagx 8y agoI think the genesis of a lot of the cooling arguments goes back to just one article in National Geographic: http://www.wmconnolley.org.uk/sci/iceage/DSCN1557-nat-geog-1976_1200x900.JPG http://www.wmconnolley.org.uk/sci/iceage/DSCN1557-nat-geog-1...
