I'm inclined to go with the 50 year figure. As a kid in the 90s I read stuff about climate change (then "global warming") as researched in the 70s and became concerned. My parents talked me down...
I'm inclined to go with the 50 year figure. As a kid in the 90s I read stuff about climate change (then "global warming") as researched in the 70s and became concerned. My parents talked me down with "they've been saying this for years" and... we're sort of right on the timeline. They were intentionally a bit vague, as statistics can be with errors, but it's been 50 years and it's really accelerated to this point where we the effects are undeniable.
Edit: timeline matters a bit. A lot of the huge information for these models, to my knowledge, was cited from the 70s.

For those playing along at home, we knew this was coming at least a decade ago (probably more like 50 years ago?) The Guardian
