That actually is not true in terms of the broad scientific opinion at the time. Oh there were some headlines about it but it was not anywhere close to being an accepted theory by the majority of climate scientists. A far greater number were already warning of the dangers of greenhouse gases and their effect on climate change.

I've seen this claim before, and traced it back to Sean Hannity. So, its just a mass media talking point.

Someone combed through studies on the subject from the 50s to 70s and while there was not the 97% consensus on global warming that there is today, there were something like 60% of studies predicting warming.

About 10% of studies predicted global cooling.

You've been misled by biased media outlets.
