-DEPOPULATION AGENDA-
Founded in 1968 at Accademia dei Lincei in Rome, Italy, the Club of Rome consists of current and former heads of state, UN bureaucrats, high-level politicians and government officials, diplomats, scientists, economists, and business leaders from around the globe.[1] It stimulated considerable public attention in 1972 with the first report to the Club of Rome, The Limits to Growth. Since 1 July 2008 the organization has been based in Winterthur, Switzerland.
The Limits to Growth (1972)
I do not wish to seem overdramatic, but I can only conclude from the Information that Is available to me as SecretaryGeneral, that the Members of the United Nations have perhaps ten years left In which to subordinate their ancient quarrels and launch a global partnership to curb the arms race, to improve the human environment, to defuse the population explosion, and to supply the required momentum to development efforts. If such a global partnership Is not forged within the next decade, then I very much fear that the problems I have mentioned will have reached such staggering proportions that they will be beyond our capacity to control. U THANT, 1969

Unless there is a sharp rise in mortality which mankind will certainly strive mightily to avoid, we can look forward to a world population of around 7 billion persons in 30 more years.
