THE CHANGING FACE OF THE APOCALYPSE.

16-page report by New Hope Environmental Services for Western Fuels Association and Basin Electric Power Cooperative (November 1997). Examines commonly-held assumptions about sea level rise, agricultural impacts, human health, extreme weather events, and vector-borne diseases.

"Throughout most of mankind’s history, apocalypse was the dominion of the gods–to be rained down upon the human race in response to pernicious behavior. Now, apocalypse is the dominion of man, forecast by the environmental community as a result of our industrial perfidy. In particular, global climate change is predicted to cause all manner of pestilence–famine, disease, war, tidal waves, and more. This report documents the increasing din of global warming rhetoric in the face of more sober facts."
