“The common enemy of humanity is man.
In searching for a 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. All these
dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through
changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome.
The real enemy then, is humanity itself."

I'm curious as to the date of inception for the "Club of Rome", mainly because back in 1982 I had an opportunity to read what was then a banned book my ex-air force father obtained from one of his still serving friends that described this "Club" and named many of it's members, including our most previous Prime Minister Mr. John Howard.
In which case this "Club" has been around for quite a lot longer than it's "formation" in the early 90's.

What? It's all underlined.. They blatantly point out that new enemies need to be present, either real or INVENTED, that they were behind the idea of the threat of global warming, etc.. This is a real report release from the 90's...
Reading comprehension fail.
