The subject of "Climate change" was first brought up at the 1989 Bilderberg meeting[1], at the exact time of the end of the Cold War.

Bilderberg 1989
Under "solutions", the meeting strategized among other things that the areas where "immediate advances are required" were:
*Rapid progress in the capability to accurately forecast the regional effects (i.e. temperature and precipitation) of global warming for the next decade.
- Environmental issues must become an integral part of national policies, economic developments and international affairs.
- The right people must be identified, motivated and placed in various strategic positions in industry, government and academia.
- The educational system must be adjusted to focus on strong interdisciplinary topics that will produce a new generation of scientists and engineers that will be the infrastructure upon which future advances will be made.[1]
A matter of concern to several speakers was the adequacy of existing political institutions to the task of dealing with the environment. An Austrian felt that, to address this "massive problem of social engineering," might require "imaginative new institutions"· to address the current inadequacy of leadership. A stronger international authority was needed. A German speaker felt that existing institutions, particularly the United Nations and its environmental agency, was up to the job and should be relied upon.[1]
