There were a few about it in that time frame. Which is where Time picked it up. But the majority of papers were on warming. There never was a consensus on cooling.

In the 1960s and 1970s there was some concern that increasing aerosols from air pollution was going to dominate the warming due to increasing CO2. So the few who were predicting cooling were not all wet. As it turns out, the effect wasn't as pronounced as they speculated. And they didn't foresee how effective efforts to curb pollution would be. Even then, the predicted cooling was due to human action.
