That was 30 years of climate cooling, which lead to all sorts of alarmist dire predictions of the coming Ice Age, including a documentary by Leonard Nimoy!
This is an old chestnut, which I'm fairly sure I've pointed out to you before: Most research in the 1970s predicted warming, and there is even a paper documenting this - Peterson et al 2008. Between 1965 and 1979, just 7 papers predicted global cooling, while 42 predicted warming. Read more about it here. Maybe Leonard Nimoy fronted a documentary, and there were cerainly articles in popular magazines like Newsweek, but the scientific community expected the world to continue warming. Guess what ... they were right!

Darn you are making it hard for me to reply to you Andy - when I hit reply with quote, your quote doesn't come up, and I have to figure work arounds!
Good sidestepping of the issue - you quote 30 years at me as being required for measuring climate, I point out the whole heating scare got started on less than 14 years, and that it didn't even run for more than 23 years before it petered out - and you don't address it.
Instead you go over old ground about the global cooling alarmism that you claim scientists weren't involved with.
As I pointed out to you last time, Wikipedia covers it well
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling
And the notion that scientists weren't involved with it are preposterous.
