Emily your reminder is correct:

The Common Enemy of Humanity Is Man

In searching for a new enemy to unite us, 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 in their interactions

these phenomena do constitute a common threat

which demands the solidarity of all peoples. But in

designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap

about which we have already warned, namely mistak

ing symptoms for causes. All these dangers are

caused by human intervention and it is only through

changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be

overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.
