'''Global cooling''' was a [[conjecture]], especially during the 1970s, of imminent cooling of the [[Earth]] culminating in a period of extensive [[glaciation]], due to the cooling effects of [[aerosols]] or [[orbital forcing]].

 

In the mid 1970s, the limited temperature series available suggested that the temperature had decreased for several decades up to then. As longer time series of higher quality became available, it became clear that global temperature showed significant increases overall.
