Al Gore (Earth in the Balance, 1992)

"We now face the prospect of a kind of global civil war between those who refuse to consider the consequences of civilization’s relentless advance and those who refuse to be silent partners in the destruction. More and more people of conscience are joining the effort to resist, but the time has come to make this struggle the central organizing principle of world civilizations."

Thor's Hammer

Tormod Vaaland Burkey loves animals. With a vengeance. He has struggled since childhood with the difficulties of saving endangered species, the natural world, the habitats of other species, and the beautiful places on earth, from the greed and stupidity of humans. He has a PhD in ecology and conservation biology from Princeton University. He is an environmental activist, a birder, a diver, and a sea kayaker, who longs to experience wildlife untrammeled by habitat degradation and persecution. He lives in a cabin on the banks of the river Glomma, in Norway, with “his” cat, Kitty, and writes for a diversity of outlets.
