What+about+Global+Cooling?

Every now and again, the myth that "we shouldn't believe global warming predictions now, because in the 1970's they were predicting an ice age and/or cooling" surfaces. Recently, George Will mentioned it in his column (see [|Will-full ignorance]) and the egregious Crichton manages to say "in the 1970's all the climate scientists believed an ice age was coming" (see [|Michael Crichton’s State of Confusion]). You can find it in various other places too [[|here], [|mildly here], //etc//]. But its not an argument used by respectable and knowledgeable skeptics, because it crumbles under analysis. That doesn't stop it repeatedly cropping up in [|newsgroups] though.
