I remember Leonard Nimoy discussing this in an episode of "In Search Of" and used the 1977 Buffalo snowstorms as an example.

A few years later, Popular Science stated they would never use the term “Greenhouse Effect” again as it was not true.
Ten years later, they jumped on the Glo-Bull Warming bandwagon.
That episode used to be on YouTube. It wouldn’t surprise me if it had been memory holed.
I remember that imminent new ice age. I was in school during that. Talked all about the steps man could take to prevent the coming catastrophe.
Saw a glacier at a NP in Alaska. Forget which, the timeline of the glaciers “retreat” is marked along a trail following the glacier. There are places were the remains of houses from the 1800s are being found. The former owner fled from the glaciers. Evidently these things can grow fast and literally move to envelope everything in its path.
As kids, in school for this frightful news, we lived in what was the path of the last great glaciers in the Midwest. The news scarred the bejeebers out of us. So even though I’m much older I cannot work up any concern over some extra warmth.
