jeweller5 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I feel foolish, but today is the first time I've heard of this group, The Club of Rome. How does this group fit with current events? Is Soros related to this group somehow? Unelected people "suggesting" what governments should be doing is what I get out of what I read. Thanks for any insight.
Goldenages Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Put in short, the Club of Rome is a club who frighten people with apocalyptic forecasts to justify intervention of the state in more and more aspects of life. In 1970´is and 1980´is they forecasted that the seven seas on earth will be without oxygen, without life but full of poison in the year 2000. Then they forecasted an Ice Age, latest in 2010. Soon thereafter they switched to global warming, I guess simply because that justifies more state intervention than an Ice Age. But who knows. Also in the 80´is they predicted that the air will not be breathable any more (less oxygen or too much fine dust. Dont know any more) Then they forecasted that we will run out of main resources latest 2010. And they forecasted about one billon people dying of starvation in the undeveloped countries in the year 2000. All of them of course proofed wrong. The reason why there was no mass starvation in 2000 were the improvements in agriculture, of course invented in the West. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug is one of the unhonored heros, denied as much as possible to give nobody in the West a reason to be proud of something. The nomenklatura decided that we are all guilty just by mere existence. Thus we must not know that western genius saved a billion lives, but we must know that we are guilty of emitting CO2 and now have to pay for the livelihood of half the planet with CO2 bonds. regards Andi 2
