Abstract
The origin of the Climate Change-by-CO 2 -hypothesis can be traced back to a study cited in the first Club of Rome (COR) report The Limits to Growth from 1972. The potential long-term impact of this report and subsequent reports to the Club of Rome (COR) in the 1970s marked the beginning of a series of Climate Change Conferences – from the First World Climate Conference in Geneva back in 1979 via the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro and the Rio+ conferences up to the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) in Paris, followed by the Paris Agreement and the recent COP22 in Marrakech. Since the Millennium, the Climate Change discussion, especially the predictions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has sparked controversies among scientists and scholars of various disciplines as shown, inter alia, by the so-called “ClimateGate”-scandal. Warlike Climate Change scenarios in weather disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow, Hell, and Snowpiercer suggest that humans should act before it is too late, having a dramatic impact on the collective feeling that humankind is steering toward a climate catastrophe and the world is about to collapse. This fear might be exploited by those who strive for a binding global policy and the establishment of a global authority.

Kissinger who is known for statements like “The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer…” (NSA Archive 2012) is also accused of having jeopardized US efforts to stop mass killings by Argentina’s 1976–1983 military dictatorship by congratulating the country’s military leaders for “wiping out” terrorism, as shown by a large trove of newly declassified state department files” (Goñi 2016; CIA 2017).
