Remember this from 1975?
The Cooling World
Newsweek, April 28, 1975
[excerpt]
Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects.
They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve.
But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing the variables of climatic uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies.
The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.

Too much CO2 and H2O in the atmosphere is reflecting too much sunlight away from terra firma and causing cooling. (or something like that.) Excuse #345a for prohibiting fossil fuels, pulled from the stack of cards classified as “use in case of global cooling due to greenhouse gases”
No science is necessary, the science is settled.
