If you go do a search for global cooling, you'll find stories from the
70's when "experts" were equally convinced that the planet faced a
possible mini ice age from a cooling trend. And many similar
arguments were made, eg that due to modern science, they then had
computer models that showed it would happen.


Oh boy, a new "meme". Can you kindly point me towards somewhere where
these "computer models that showed" global cooling would happen are
mentioned? Not one of the usual handwaving "they're out there, look
for them yourself" things, since I just did that and can't find any
mention.

This is how rightwing urban legends are built; piece by piece. Like
the legend that ""experts were equally convinced that the planet faced
a possible mini ice age from a cooling trend." Unless you wish to cite
"a new glaciation will begin within a few thousand years" ("Isotopic
paleotemperatures", Cesare Emiliani, Science 154: 851-857) as some
sort of panic over an impending mini ice age, or cite Newsweek
magazine as your "climate expert", as do the John Birch Society.
