They all insisted that the world was cooling because that's what official data at the time showed. Only some insisted it was or could be a problem, but of course those were the ones that got media and political attention. The same is true today. Almost all scientists believe the world is warming. Only some extrapolate that into a crisis, but those are the ones who get media and political attention. There are lots of claims being made in this thread that aren't true, e.g. - only two papers talking about global cooling (wrong) - journalists were inverting what scientists believed (wrong) - there was no consensus on cooling (wrong; see how none of the papers discussing the cooling trend note any disagreement on its existence) and so on. For examples of media reports and scientific papers talking about global cooling see my other posts.
