Original Note:
While this AP article from 1989 is authentic, some context is needed. The statement made by one senior U.N. official only claims that the consequences described would occur eventually, unless global warming trend is reversed by 2000. Not that they would occur by 2000. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/nations-vanish-global-warming/
