Not that this will convince anyone currently attempting to rewrite this out of history (or determined to believe those who rewrite history), but the media panic, reporting on the scientific discussion, was much broader than that. The scientific studies and opinions varied - it was not one-sided, but the "ice age" predictions were much more marketable, at least.

5 minutes of checking found three issues of Time, one from 1994.

  * 24 Jun 1974 https://time.com/archive/6878023/another-ice-age/ (well-known)
  * 13 Nov 1972 https://time.com/archive/6844319/science-another-ice-age/ ("refuses to speculate")
  * 31 Jan 1994 https://time.com/archive/6724662/the-ice-age-cometh/ ("the greenhouse effect could heat up the planet for a while but then trigger changes that could plunge the earth into a sudden chill.")

Here are others:

  * “The Earth’s Cooling Climate,” Science News, November 15, 1969
  * “Colder Winters Held Dawn of New Ice Age,” Washington Post, January 11, 1970.
  * “Science:  Another Ice Age?”  Time Magazine, June 24, 1974.
  * “The Ice Age Cometh!”  Science News, March 1, 1975.
  * “The Cooling World,” Newsweek, April 28, 1975.
  * “Scientists Ask Why World Climate is Changing; Major Cooling May Be Ahead,” New York Times, May 21, 1975.
  * “In the Grip of a New Ice Age?” International Wildlife July-August, 1975.
  * “A Major Cooling Widely Considered to Be Inevitable,” New York Times, September 14, 1975.
  * “Variations in the Earth’s Orbit, Pacemaker of the Ice Ages,” Science magazine, December 10, 1976.

It was all over the media at the time. You are cherry picking.

Intelligent design was floating around in classrooms but we don't need to pretend that it was anything other than a fringe political and religious belief.

I remember reading a very solid article from the 90s by Imbrie (the father, not the son) about a global cooling model.
