Für mich ist immer interessant, wo solche interessante Ideen herkommen.
Wer denkt sich das aus? Der Club of Rome wurde genannt, wobei das griechische Wort "Rom" mit "Macht" übersetzt wird.
Geht zurück auf die Ideen des Essay on the Principle of Population (1798) von Thomas Robert Malthus, der widerum die Basis für die Arbeit von Darwin, Huxley und Galton waren. Rome weil man 1968 auf den italienischen Ländereien der Rockefellers gegründet hat, Gianni Agnelli (Präsident von Fiat), Aurelio Peccei (senior manager Fiat), David Rockefeller und Bertrand Russell waren Gründungsmitglieder. Schwerreiche Eugeniker mit Hang zu predictive modelling und monte carlo simulationen. Ist aber nicht schlimm, Dennis Meadows ist der Meinung, dass die unvermeidliche Verringerung der Weltbevölkerung friedlich passieren kann.
“In searching for the new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. In their totality and in their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which demands the solidarity of all peoples. But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap about which we have already warned, namely mistaking symptoms for cause. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changing attitudes and behaviors that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.”
Thus ends the first half of a report written in 1991, by Alexander King and Bertrand Schneider, for the Club of Rome, titled: “The First Global Revolution“.
“The original Limits To Growth (LTG) study published in 1972 1 , the “Report for The Club of Rome‘s Project on the Predicament of Mankind”, insistently urged humanity to act. Its vivid and almost haunting description of the consequences of exponential growth which is confronted with finite resources, is still as perspicuous as it was back then: continuous economic and demographical growth will hit the limits of naturally provided resources and very likely lead to overshoot, collapse, and radical decrease of most people’s standard of living, accompanied by international crises, conflicts and catastrophes. The study was supported by the German Volkswagen Foundation”
