》"Memories of Green" (from the album "See You Later") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW9D6agp794

That title and that album cover: a woman wearing bikini and low-light glasses for snow, with the sun on the back and broken floating ice. A prediction of climate change from 1980?



If the myths hold truths, the oil companies knew this was an issue in the '70s. By the late 80s the predictions had reached artists and musicians in the UK (how I know this is too convoluted and flakey for this thread). I was taught about climate change (the "greenhouse effect") as a young teen, early 90s. It's been canon for me since then. I have no problem believing that forward looking adults were talking about it, making art and activism in 1980.


"Climate Change" was one of the topics discussed at "Rio Summit" in 92 [1].

I recall an early 80's Justice League episode which centered global warming.
