If you gooogle on "ice age prediction" there comes a lot of references (like http://www.wmconnolley.org.uk/sci/iceage/ )to the 70-ies where you basically see that the scientists where not speaking about imminent ice age occurence but it was rather the popular press that shortened the forecast. It seems more like a myth that in the 70-ies imminent ice age predictions were frequently occuring. -- th
