Weren't geologists worried that we were heading into an ice age back in the 70's? As far as I can recall it didnt happen. It is possible that its just a cold spring and not the sign of a mini ice age.

The data back then was skewed due to dust/sulfite particles in the air (and that wasn't taken into acount) blocking the sunlight. Stricter rules against pollution were already put into place by then and the effect kicked in some decades later. Nowadays the air is much cleaner on average.
