The Club of Rome we remember for being the sponsor of the study known in Italy as "The Limits to Growth," in 1972. The study was a tremendous shock in the certainties of the time. It was such an impact that some lobby decided to condemn it in the late 1980s, using classic propaganda treatments that were then already been developed for the tobacco industry.
phase of demonization of "The Limits to Growth" seems to have run out. After a period in which the Club of Rome had kept a very low profile, is now returning to advocate the ideas that made him famous in the past.
Thus, we see appear on the site of the Club of Rome, a movie dedicated to peak oil. You can see here .
The result is ... Well, in fact. We say that recounts as they are, however, is a debilitating whining (*). E 'told by a voice that seems to be that the answering machine. The text is woody and heavy sounds like a college class for adults. And the animations are not very informative. So, be content, but you could do better.
Fortunately, the Club of Rome is not limited to these movies - another thing that is coming out is a complete revision of the study "The Limits to Growth" which tells the history of the study, its critics, its supporters and its relevance to the present day. The publisher is Springer, the author of a Ugo Bardi; boh .... who knows what will it say?
