Here's the paper that triggered the 'ice age hysteria'.

Read the abstract, and note that its ice age hypothesis was never tested because aerosol concentrations didn't increase by a factor of 4.

Also, in terms of 1970s published papers commenting on cause, according to this site, 44 projected global warming, 7 projected cooling. You can look for yourself on GoogleScholar or Web of Science if you want.

If you stick to the popular media, then sure, they made some pretty sensationalist claims. If you stick to scientific media, then you get a different viewpoint.

Scientists make their bones and get there grants by backing up the scientific establishment
Wouldn't scientists be better off doing what the person with the most money wants them to? Firstly, the fossil fuel industry is orders of magnitude larger than the renewable energy industry, and ExxonMobil's funding of anti-global warming groups is well documented.

The biggest funder of climate science is the US. And Bush was in charge - here's some of his administration's attempts to undermine scientific integrity. Why were the scientists going against the political demands of their paymasters?
