Matthew, global warming was old news by 1989. I remember
hearing about it when I was in elementary school in the 1960s.
Consider references to it in the popular song:

...if your time to you is worth savin,
you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone,
for the times, they are a changin...

Which I believe is a reference to rising ocean levels as a result of
global warming. Also see the very interesting 1975 movie
Soylent Green. spike
