Quotes by Alexander King
| Page | Quote | Date |
|---|---|---|
| "Climate change" | “we came up with the idea that ... global warming ... and the like, would fit the bill.” | 1993 |
| Club of Rome | “In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, 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 their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which must be confronted by everyone together. But in designating these dangers as the enemy, we fall into the trap, which we have already warned readers about, namely mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention in natural processes, and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself.” | 1993 |
