Exceprt,
" Steven Goddard over at his RealScience blog recently dug up a news clipping from 1983.
That’s 27 years ago – and a full five years prior to the establishment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

These days we’re advised that the reason we should believe climate change is a serious problem is because IPCC reports say so.
We’re told that, after careful examination of the evidence, in 2007 thousands of the world’s smartest scientists concluded
that recent warming (during the last third of the past 150 years) is very likely the result of human activities.

However this article – distributed by the reputable New York Times news service
– demonstrates that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had already made up its mind a quarter-century before that.
Back in 1983 newspaper readers were advised that global warming wasn’t a trivial matter, that “major changes” were inevitable, and
that some of these changes would be evident as early as 1990. "
