Ok, as I am only 31 I do not remember a global cooling fear, pretty much all I have ever seen in the news is global warmning. I believe what I see, ie Kilmanjaro, Inuits in shorts, waterfalls running down glaciers that were frozen solid only a few years ago. Would you like links?

I am also aware of the fact that ice cores go back more then a few 1000 years. I am also aware of the fact that more and more scientists are ever more concerned. By the way, my parents never discussed a global cooling trend fear in all the talks we had about the environment.

from 2005
When 87% of the glaciers had retreated.

Nasa

For a few links.
