        Industrial policies do not take into consideration social and environmental concerns
        
        Global emissions of carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas and driver of climate change, increased from 22.4 billion metric tons in 1990 to 24.9 billion in 2000
        
        1992: Climate Change Convention, signed by 154 nations in Rio, agrees to prevent “dangerous” warming from greenhouse gases and sets initial target of reducing emissions from industrialised countries to 1990 levels by the year 2000.
        
        1995
        Second IPCC report detects "signature" of human-caused greenhouse effect warming, declares that serious warming is likely in the coming century.
        
        1997: Kyoto Protocol agrees legally binding emissions cuts for industrialised nations, averaging 5.4%, to be met by 2010
        
        From 1990 to 2014, total emissions of CO2 increased by 440.9 MMT CO2 Eq. (8.6 percent), while total emissions of CH4 decreased by 43.0 MMT CO2 Eq. (5.6 percent), and N2O decreased by 2.7 MMT CO2 Eq. (0.7 percent).

        The rate of global fossil fuel CO2 emission grew at ≈1%/year from 1980 to 2000 and >3%/year in the period from 2000 to 2005
        
        2001: The new US president, George W Bush, renounces the Kyoto Protocol because he believes it will damage the US economy.

    - - Growing confidence among climate researchers who explore greenhouse effect lies behind the global heatwave.
        
        Emissions in 1990 are up 12.8 percent since 1980 and 44.6 percent since 1970; since 1950, emissions have nearly quadrupled.
        
        First major international conference on the greenhouse effect at Villach, Austria, warns that greenhouse gases will “in the first half of the next century, cause a rise of global mean temperature which is greater than any in man’s history.”
        
        1987：Warmest year since records began. The 1980s turn out to be the hottest decade on record, with seven of the eight warmest years recorded up to 1990. Even the coldest years in the 1980s were warmer than the warmest years of the 1880s.
        
        Report shaped the agenda of the 1990 Second World Climate Conference (WCC-2), which led to the establishment of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) and the negotiation of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
        
        the 1988 Toronto Conference and the First Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
      - Worldwide cooling of 0.2°C. Scientific interest in greenhouse effect wanes. Some climatologists predict a new ice age.
        
        The 1974-1977 WMO EC (Executive Committee) Panel of Experts on Climate Change, set up at the request of the sixth special session of the UNGA
        
        First World Climate Conference ( FWCC or WCC-1) was organized by a Committee chaired by Robert M. White of the USA and held in the International Conference Centre in Geneva from 12 to 23 February 1979

      - After rising rapidly during the first part of the 20th century, global average temperatures did cool by about 0.2°C after 1940 and remained low until 1970
      - The 1930s drought that turned the southern American Great Plains into what we now call the Dust Bowl was an example of a climate pattern—driven by sea-surface temperatures in the Atlantic and Pacific—that had always been typical of the region.
