In the scientific papers which considered climate trends of the 21st century, less than 10% inclined towards future cooling, while most papers predicted future warming.
Now, youre saying that the scientific community thought we were headed toward an ice age in the 70's? Because I have proven that wrong. Are you saying that we should discount upwards of 50 years of climate change science? Even if you dont agree, cant you at least acknowledge that providing tax credits for clean energy innovations is a GOOD thing?

Science News journal in May 1959 forecast a 25% increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide in the 150 years from 1850 to 2000, with a consequent warming trend. The actual increase in this period was 29%.
Paul R. Ehrlich mentioned climate change from greenhouse gases in 1968. By the time the idea of global cooling reached the public press in the mid-1970s temperatures had stopped falling, and there was concern in the community about carbon dioxide's warming effects. In response to such reports, the World Meteorological Organization issued a warning in June 1976 that "a very significant warming of global climate" was probable.
