Carl Sagan's take on, at the time, Global Warming, warning in the early 90s.

The warning had been out for some time but my 'radar' had not picked up on it at the time.

Since then I have had college classes in Ecology and from there attended an IPCC lecture in 2008.

The IPCC lecture in particular was both eye opening and very, very scary.
