And that was just 1980 and before. Now all of a sudden, everybody is freaking about the entire planey warming up.... after about 100 years of studies stating otherwise for an ice age.
Now would you believe a few reports backed by Gore from just the last 10 years or so, or a pile of reports from over 100 years?

As noted in your article, scientists have been aware that anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide have been affecting the planet's temperature for well over a century. So we certainly aren't believing "A few reports backed by Gore from the last 10 years," we're believing over a century and a half's worth of research done by thousands of scientists.
Also, your article was, undoubtedly intentionally, misleading. There was actually very little, if any, support for the idea of an imminent ice age in the scientific community. In fact, there wasn't a single article published in the scientific literature predicting any such thing.
Here's a much better history of global warming theory.

Like the calm before the storm, this so called heat wave we are experiencing or "Global Warming" could be only for a short period of time which would result in a counter balance and possibly produce an ice age for much longer.

That isn't likely, unless we stop putting massive amounts of greenhouse gases into the air. Although admittedly, without humanity's influence, the planet would currently be slowly cooling.
