I still remember being petrified as kid after Dr Spock told me we were entering another potential ice age because the scientists told us the evidence was there....

One dude has already found many articles on the 70's ice age scare.

Are the denialist crowd still trying to pull this debunked claim from over a decade ago? lol
Fact is the vast majority of actual climate science journal papers back in the 70s were related to man-made global warming and how it would swamp the natural milankovitch cycles.
MT, did you even read the blog post? This fellow gives many real examples are of actual media propaganda of that decade. No mention is any article in that lot of global warming or John Malkovich cycles. Just over & over reports on how the experts predict a period of rapid cooling and the potential of an imminent ice age.
It's bloody easy to say you meant something else when you said the opposite, as a parent I've done it more times than I can remember but this stinks like crap.
Your a smart fellow and I'm sure you could post some very impressive data from the seventies that told us the world was warming and not cooling or that the world was cooling because it was warming or even data from the seventies that tells us it was a man made problem & I'd be happy to read it. But I challenge you to find some real media articles that were telling us what they are telling us now. Find some articles published in a popular newspaper during a the seventies that said this before you post some mumbo-jumbo that I can't understand. . I don't remember anything until maybe the late 80's obviously when things didn't get colder as predicted but got hotter.
Did you at least watch Mr Spock? No mention of global warming in that video & it scared the hell out of me as little kid but at least we weren't forced to watch it like an inconvenient truth became compulsory viewing in some regions.
I've seen the Spock video about a decade ago when this 1970s cooling myth was doing the rounds on denialist sites like WUWT.
The media of the 1970s, especially in the US, wanted a story on the period of cool temperatures in the Northern hemisphere (as opposed to global temps) back then. Climate studies of the day were still split into separate scientific fields. Geologists knew about Milankovitch cycles in reference to the connection between orbital effects and ice ages; Two guys named Rasool & Schneider wanted to model aerosols, which have a cooling effect. Some in the media grabbed on to all of these and put two and two together to get five.
The bulk of the peer-review scientific literature into climate studies though in the 1970s was about global warming from increasing CO2 due to human activity. Consensus was achieved by the mid-late 1970s. There are media articles from the 50s/60s/70s that talk about global warming.

Warmer Climate on the Earth may be due to more Carbon Dioxide in the Air.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Scientists have warned the human race that it is running the risk of allowing pollution to destroy life in the oceans and to alter the earth's climate by raising temperatures.

August 14, 1975,
Articles in two scientific journals have questioned widely publicized predictions that, in coming decades, the world climate will deteriorate severely affecting food production and, perhaps, initiating a new ice age.
Dr. Broecker’s argument is that the present cooling trend in the north [northern hemisphere] will be reversed as more and more carbon dioxide is introduced into the atmosphere by the burning of fuels.
