Radio Times? Everyone knows the groundbreaking cutting edge climate journalism is found in the PennySaver.
That Radio Times was a magazine published by the BBC, not some supermarket tabloid:
https://www.bbc.com/historyofthebbc/research/radio-times
In any case,
New York Times. 1975:
"A new ice age is on the way... Sooner or later a major cooling of the climate is widely considered as inevitable"
The 1970s global cooling consensus was real.
Even if that was true, so what? Science has always changed over time as more facts and data are uncovered.
And it wasn't true. Yes, some scientists speculated that global cooling was coming (hence what you'll see in some of these articles). Others thought warming. There was no consensus. The "warming" consensus arrived later.
The late 60s/70s scientific consensus for global cooling was of the order of 85%, so clearly there was a consensus.
Quote:
It is evident from Figure 2 that, for the 1965-1979 reference period used by PCF-08, the number of cooling papers significantly outnumbers the number of warming papers. It is also apparent that there are two distinct sub-periods contained within the reference period, namely:
1. The 1968-1976 period when cooling papers greatly outnumber the warming papers (85% to 15%), if we ignore the neutral papers (as was done in the Cook et al (2103). The 85% to 15% majority is an overwhelming cooling consensus. Additionally, this is probably the period when the 1970s "global cooling consensus" originated because cooling was clearly an established scientific consensus not the myth that PCF-08 contend.

This article is full of motivated reasoning and actually includes the fake Time Magazine cover as an image at the top! Not your most convincing work here.
That cover is the red herring you are using to dismiss
the fact that Time Magazine, among many other media
, did publish articles about global cooling in the 1970s, which I have posted above. Here is that article in full:
https://web.archive.org/web/20070205145701/https://time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,944914,00.htmlExcerpt from that real Time Magazine article:
"
ANOTHER ICE AGE?...However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time,
when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age.Telltale signs are everywhere from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest.Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7 F. Although that figure is at best an estimate, it is supported by other convincing data. When Climatologist George J. Kukla of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory and his wife Helena analyzed satellite weather data for the Northern Hemisphere, they found that the area of the ice and snow cover had suddenly increased by 12% in 1971 and the increase has persisted ever since. Areas of Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic, for example, were once totally free of any snow in summer; now they are covered year round.
Scientists have found other indications of global cooling. For one thing there has been a noticeable expansion of the great belt of dry, high-altitude polar winds the so-called circumpolar vortexthat sweep from west to east around the top and bottom of the world."
One altered Time Magazine cover does not detract from the fact that the outlet, like most other leading media of hat time, did publish articles whose main theme was that scientists are reporting global cooling and even the advent of another ice age.
