The 70's "new ice age" scare didn't originate with a consensus of climate scientists though.

At that point the UN had already met and global agreement was in that C02 emmissions were going to result in warming and that was going to lead to some level of problem.

New "ice age" stories were the first advance of the Koch et al think tanks funded by fossil fuel moguls sowing doubt and confusion.
