For him, the predicament we face is not primarily ecological but in fact spiritual: The ultimate aim is to see all things in God, and God in all things. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn Earth as in Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates just why His All Holiness has been dubbed the \"Green Patriarch\" by former Vice President Al Gore (recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for his environmental activism) and the media.\u003cbr\u003eThis third and final volume of the spiritual leader's selected writings showcases his statements on environmental degradation, global warming, and climate change.
