Paris (AFP) – With the planet facing the "potentially serious consequences" of global warming, UN experts writing 32 years ago urged an indifferent world to take immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Planet-warming carbon pollution has increased ever since.
In 1990 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change produced the first trio of reports in a cycle of climate change assessments -- one on the physical science of warming, one on the impacts and one on solutions -- that has repeated roughly every six years.
While the authors of the most recent IPCC report on impacts, released in February this year, can say the evidence of harm to humanity and the entire planet is "unequivocal", the authors of those first reports 30 years ago could not be as forthright.
The scientists writing the 1990 report underscored the need to reduce emissions of different gases -- especially carbon dioxide and methane -- across a range of different sectors, from energy generation to agriculture.
"Our understanding has been refined over 40 years, but the alarm has been ringing since the first IPCC report," said Celine Guivarch, one of the authors of the latest IPCC assessment of solutions, set to be published on April 4.
With each new cycle of climate evaluation, the description of risks in the IPCC reports has become ever clearer and more urgent. The forecasts have become increasingly catastrophic.

They were saying that in the 1960’s. Back then it was the coming ice age.
Well, it is too late then. /sarc Considering Africa, China, India, South America will do little if anything to alleviate this so-called threat, what is the point of doing anything?
And 2 decades before that we were in the throws of a Devastating ICE AGE threatening the extinction of ALL Life on this Planet.
It has actually been been about 45 years but hey who’s counting, this just proves what a HOAX this truly is!! The seas are supposedly rising YET our oligarchs are out buying beach front property everywhere BOTH Obama AND Zuckerberg in Hawaii, Obama again in Martha’s Vineyard, Pelosi right on the beach in FL. people that don’t have enough common sense to SEE this are just fools!!!
Yep..... need to start a company that makes corks for cows to alleviate the methane emissions though I might have a problem hiring folks to insert them into place.
The clock is ticking on a prediction made about 4 years ago that we would be underwater in about 12 years from then.
“Back then it was the coming ice age.”
Right, still pissed I wasted money on extra ear muffs and mittens for everything. Wont be fooled again. :)
Yeah. I was told that by 2015 all the world’s coastlines would be under 20 feet of water. I was down at Marina del Ray last year and the boat slips are the same level as 30 years ago. Am I missing something?
And yet we’re still alive 30 years later.
Africa, China, India, South America DO want something to be done in response to the global warming threat. They want America to open up its wallet.
Well, then we are all SOL, so why should we even worry, now that it is apparently too late!!!!! 🙂
This article is just one example of how tone-deaf these Climate Change fraudsters are. Thirty years ago they warned us about an impending climate disaster. Yet there has been no disaster.
So this article actually is convincing evidence that everything they said was wrong.
Real scientists correct their mistakes. Fake scientists double-down on their mistakes. And since Climate Change scientists are fake scientists, they will of course double-down now.
I remember watching mr spock state unequivocally on television that glaciers were advancing across north america, and showed brutal film of snow storms in buffalo to prove it
And...we survived all of it without solar and wind turbines.
Al Gore’s Doomsday Clock came and went and Earth is still here with no changes and now Jane Fonda wants to start her own 8 year clock was she drunk or asleep during Algores 10 year clock , LOL
Yep. Ice Age, then ozone hole, then global warming before they eventually settled on climate change. Boy who cried wolf status was achieved decades ago.
We should have used the end of the Ice Age as a warning. LOL.
And the climate scammers like Algore and all of the University Climate Study groups are extremely grateful that you didn't take action 30 years ago.
Because if you did, it would have ruined 30 years of their money grifting operations from governments and gullible NGOs.
