There are a lot of reasons that this overhyped erroneous conclusion of the media was an overshoot of what the scientists were saying at the time. Yes, there was a slight cooling trend; yes, sulfur emissions were probably involved. But there are no truly scientific predictions of a significant cooling trend from the 1970s; the models were still way too crude. (References available on request)
