In recently declassified memos, Reagan administration officials warned of global warming's “profound consequences" and that the U.S. “cannot wait” until all scientific questions are resolved to take action. These discussions led to success in the 1989 Montreal Protocol, which phased out production of industrial chemicals linked to the destruction of the Earth’s ozone layer. That same year, regarding global warming, top Reagan officials asserted that the United States should take a leadership role in the fight against a threat it called “the most far reaching environmental issue of our time.”
