When I was a child in the 1970s, we were constantly being scared by mainstream news sources about the upcoming ice age that was being predicted.
It was absolutely terrifying.
Fortunately, the predicted ice age never came.
The global warming that we are experiencing today is far preferable to the upcoming ice age that was being predicted by every mainstream news source in the 1970s.
I am so, so very glad that those predictions did not come true.
Here are some examples of those predictions:

I remember those days. The “experts” were thinking of blowing up Artic glasiers, but fortunately didn’t get it done.

One climate con after another to control and fleece the public.I remember those days. I am not 100% sure why the communists switched to global warming, from global cooling, but it might have been because Global cooling, simply wasn’t getting the traction they wanted. Doesn’t anyone ever think it’s ironic, that the former head of world communism (Gorbachev) was the head of a radical environmental group? I am TOTALLY cynical of these A holes. I think it is just another way for these slime bags, to try to destroy capitalism.

Can you believe that the Leftists banned over-the-counter asthma inhalers because "globull warming"? I have family members who have been directly affected by this. Unbelievable how selfish the nanny state is.
I despise Leftist scum.

Climate hoaxing goes back a lot farther than that.
- January 10, 1871: Pall Mall Gazette – “Imaginary Change of Climate”
“…a plentiful crop of speculation from weather prophets and projectors, and half-
instructed meteorologists…We have often noticed…every season is sure to be
‘extraordinary,’ almost every month one of the driest or wettest, or windiest, coldest
or hottest ever known. Much observation, which ought to correct a tendency to
exaggerate, seems in some minds to have rather a tendency to increase it.” - 1902: Los Angeles Times
Glaciers are undergoing ‘their final annihilation’ due to warming. - 1923: Chicago Tribune (Front page)
“Scientist says Arctic ice will wipe out Canada” - May 15, 1932: New York Times (Special supplement May)
Continuing end of the last ice age, not human activity cause of warming trend.

“Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against
problems facing mankind.” - 1970’s: Science, Science Digest, Newsweek, etc.
Global cooling – ice age. - June 24, 1974: Time
“Another Ice Age?” - June 30, 1989: San Jose Mercury News
Noel Brown, senior UN environment official –
Entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if
global warming is not reversed by 2000. - 1997:
U.S. Senate voted 95-0 that the U.S. should not sign on to the Kyoto protocols. - 2006:
Al Gore [alleged climate expert and Grand Klimatologist of the Klimate Klux Klan] –
10 years to solve the global-warming problem. - 2007:
Chief of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) –
“If there’s no action before 2012, that’s too late.” - December 2008:
Al Gore [alleged climate expert and Grand Klimatologist of the Klimate Klux Klan] tells German audience –
“…the entire North ‘polarized’ cap will disappear in 5 years.” - January 19, 2009:
James Hansen, [alleged] climate expert and past head of NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies –
President Obama has only four years to save the Earth. - December 2009:
Al Gore [alleged climate expert and Grand Klimatologist of the Klimate Klux Klan] @ Copenhagen UN climate summit –
75% chance Arctic Ocean ice-free in several years. - November 10, 2013: Mother Jones article –
“Climate deniers like to point to the so-called global warming ‘hiatus’ [17 years without warming].”
Note: In the article below, the IPCC omits this fact! - April 13, 2014:USA Today
(IPCC states), “…global emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases have accelerated to unprecedented levels…”

Same as I've been saying since the Man-Made Global Warming LIES began. We
know the next Ice Age is coming. It's just a matter of when. And deliberately attempting to interrupt that natural cycle (not that we could) would likely bring on the next period of glaciation all the earlier.
It also bears mention that we've not yet returned to the previous temperature levels before the most recent glacial period. So in that respect, we're still colder than normal.
To: grundle
I remember in 1977/78 there was an news article about "Scientists" wanted to spread coal dust on the glaciers in Greenland to melt them to help stop the coming Ice Age.
Can You Imagine That ... Yes, It's The Truth !!

IMHO, an ICE age is much more believable. It could actually happen almost overnight.
