Environmentalists often predict an Apocalypse is coming: The earth
will heat up like a greenhouse. We will run out of energy.
Overpopulation will lead to starvation and war. Nuclear winter will
kill all plants and animals. During the past fifty to one hundred
years, Americans have heard many prophecies of doom, such as the
Club of Rome report predicting the world economy would crash about
the year 2020. These do not come as complete surprises without any
warnings. Sometimes the United States simply ignores the threats,
but other times it makes plans to prevent them. This provocative
book asks whether American planning is different for dangers that
are truly apocalyptic—ones that could end life on the planet or
at least modern economic prosperity. This provocative book begins
by asking whether American planning is different for dangers that
are truly apocalyptic—ones that could end life on the planet or
at least modern economic prosperity. It goes on to ask why
Americans ignore so many problems like the greenhouse effect or an
oil shortage or nuclear war, problems that have been forecast many
times. Then when the United States does plan, why do those plans
often go astray?
