Global climate models have been run on the past climate and can

reproduce the overall trend including the cooling between 1940 and
1960.

But what about the cooling between 1960 and 1980?

There wasn't any; temperatures rose by 0.12C (rolling 11-year mean).
Temperature rise started around 1970 having flat-lined during the 60s
after a little warming in the 50s.

The dip in temperatures in the 40s may be associated with the slow-down
in CO2 increase following the Great Depression which included a
period of decline during 1940-45.
