** Global warming is a notable part of the ''Cyberpunk'' world's backstory, but it is rooted in the Earth's ozone layer thinning to the point where excess solar radiation is allowed to wreak havoc on the world's ecosystem. This was a major concern during the 1980's, but the 1987 Montreal Protocols and subsequent legislation phased out most of the major causes of ozone layer depletion, and it has in fact been recovering ever since, with the environmental concern turning to the effects of greenhouse gases in their place.
