Define "very seriously". I know of cover-ups, mass propaganda, antagonistic lobbying, and political inaction. I don't really know of any very serious actions against global climate change predating the 90s.

There was quite a lot, including public demonstrations, etc. Not so different from now, really, except that now the problem has become urgent enough that it's harder to be a denier.

Although I was a child then, I even remember a lot of serious agitation happening in the 70s.
