No truer words ever entitled a book.

First (click here) published in 1992, Earth In The Balance helped place the environment on the national agenda; now, as environmental issues move front-and-center in the public consciousness, the time is right to reflect deeply on the fate of our planet and commit ourselves to its future.
While An Inconvenient Truth closely examines one menace to our environment, global warming, Earth in the Balance takes a broader approach, focusing on the threats that everyday choices pose to our climate, water, soil, and diversity of plant and animal life.
In 2006, in the face of increasing evidence of climate change, former Vice President Al Gore updated Earth In The Balance to include new evidence.

Earth Day started the awareness of the climate crisis gently. It was begun by John McConnell in 1970 as a citizen's movement to grow a welcome message of Earth's changing climate. The message threatened no one, but, only to reach others who did not have the knowledge about greenhouse gases and the greenhouse effect. It threatened no one until it reached the office of Wall Street and it entered into political debate of petroleum profits. A simple man with a simple and important message through his First Amendment right to freedom of speech. It is the way the democracy of the United States of America is suppose to work; uncorrupted, based in truth and reason inspired to move to protect the lives of it's people. The First Amendment was trampled and sold to political ambitions. It was not a crisis when John McConnell began a citizen's awareness. The USA is failing it's people. What happened to the First Amendment?
