1982 CBS Report with Al Gore Predicted Widespread Agriculture Disruption and Florida Underwater

1982: CBS News report—featuring a 34-year-old Al Gore—predicts the "widespread disruption of agriculture", and 25% of Florida ending up underwater "due to the burning of coal and oil".

"Climate changes could produce widespread disruption of agriculture. The American farm belt might be too dry, and the wheat and corn crops would have to move to Canada."

"Scientists blame the odourless, colourless carbon dioxide gas for these potentially dangerous changes around the planet... The scientists maintain that the coal, oil and gas we've been burning for 100 years have produced more and more carbon dioxide, and helped overheat the Earth."
