Look two posts up. I linked a video that explains exactly what happened with the 70s.

The popular media (Times and Newsweek) got it wrong. The scientists said one thing, then the media misinterpreted it and said something entirely different. Frighteningly, this is not a rare occurrence in society. Over and over do we see popular media misinterpreting science. Look up Nebraska Man. Prime example of popular media making shit up, then uneducated interests straw manning science.
