Emissions haven't been constant over those few decades; fossil fuel burning has been rising about 3% each year, so that half the cumulative CO2 emissions since the industrial revolution have happened since the early 1980s.. That's what took us from "predicted change" to "crisis" now instead of at some earlier time.
