Premeditation

In 1968, the API commissioned a study on the "Sources, abundance, and fate of gaseous atmospheric pollutants" from the Stanford Research Institute.[1]

Published more than fifty years ago, the report clearly states: "the abundant pollutants which we generally ignore because they have little local effect, CO2 and submicron particles, may be the cause of serious world-wide environmental changes ... Significant temperature changes are almost certain to occur by the year 2000 and these could bring about climatic changes ... If the earth's temperature increases significantly, a number of events might be expected to occur, including the melting of the Antarctic ice cap, a rise in sea levels ... "
