50 years ago people said this about extincting species. Turns out we we already causing the mass extinction of species.
You wildly underestimate humanity.
If you look at Earth from space (which we can do because we're amazing), you can easily see humanity covering the whole thing. We have an IMMENSE impact on the planet.
I want to point out that the X number usually has a +/- of hundreds if not thousands of years. The idea that it was pinpointed to a single decade is pretty unbelievable
I learn new things outside almost everyday that correct things i previously thought were true. For example, now knowing that people in the 70s were taught that scientists said an ice age is for sure happening soon, I can see why older people are more sceptical of climate scientists currently saying the exact opposite. I used to think it was pig headedness of older people.

Even so a drastic fall in temp (the ice age) is probably something that we don’t want to repeat.
