The Associated Press is reporting on this June 29, 1989, that
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.
Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ″eco- refugees,′ ′ threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP.
He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.
As the warming melts polar icecaps, ocean levels will rise by up to three feet, enough to cover the Maldives and other flat island nations, Brown told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday.

In 1989 we had a 10 year window until 2000 to save the planet...DOOM AND GLOOM ETC
In 2019, they have now given us a 12 year window until 2031 to save the planet...
In 2032 I suspect we will get a 14 year window until 2046 to save the planet...
We're gaining on that global warming stuff folks. Keep working hard at it!
