IDEAS & TRENDS (CONTINUED); A DIRE LONG-RANGE FORECAST By JAMES GLEICK Published: May 12, 1985
Beginning in a decade or two, scientists expect the warming of the atmosphere to melt the polar icecaps, raising the level of the seas, flooding coastal areas, eroding the shores and sending salt water far into fresh-water estuaries. Storm patterns will change, drying out some areas, swamping others and generally throwing agriculture into turmoil.

Gleik watched too many B science fiction movies as a child. So did I, but I never actually believed those plots were blue prints for govt. policy.
The key word there is “government.” Government is not the solution to the problem. Government is the problem.
