Laurance Rockefeller and others in the environmentalist and population control movement were working on it prior to that. Then when the Soviet Union broke up, the international Marxist movement needed new state sponsors and causes, so the German Green movement seized on "global warming", using the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro as a platform.
