"What happened to the lefts' global cooling hoax in the 60s and 70s??"

The cooling was based on the observation that we were in an interglacial period. Such periods have occurred many times and they tend to last for 10k-20k years. They are readily predictable because they correlate well with changes in the Earth's orbit. Given that the Holocene started about 10k years BCE and the orbital data, we should be heading towards a new glacial period.

We aren't. In fact, it appears as if we are going the other way. Why is that? Well, the increasing levels of CO2 might be related in some fashion...
