Literally from the article you linked:

> Some press reports in the 1970s speculated about continued cooling; these did not accurately reflect the scientific literature of the time, which was generally more concerned with warming from an enhanced greenhouse effect.

That entire article makes it very clear that at the time the only little pushing it were charlatan media orgs, and one guy who very obviously made a career of opposing every single scientific consensus[1]

If you lived through the 1970s, you saw "charlatan media orgs" pushing global cooling, and now you see the same orgs pushing global warming. Hence the skepticism, despite the science behind warming being far more established than cooling ever was.
