He was a little off
I think that it was Time magazine that had a cover warning about the coming ice age back in the seventies, or early eighties. The more things change, the more they stay the same. No doubt about it.
It’s the same type of people who warned of the threat of global warming, who were then warning of the return of the ice age. We also had record high temperatures in the summer of ‘78, I believe. I remember, we were living in Chadds Ford, PA. We had gas lines, and snow all winter, with a 20 minute drive to a grocery store. Then in June, we had 30 days of 98 degree temperature with 98% humidity. It rained some part of every day and the steam was coming up out of the ground under the trees. The shoes in my closet turned green with mold (no central air, just room air conditioners), but they were warning of an ice age.
