More quotes by Al Gore
If youre a young person looking at the future of this planet and looking at what is being done right now, and not done, I believe we have reached the stage where it is time for civil disobedience to prevent the construction of new coal plants that do not have carbon capture and sequestration.
Al Gore
Many of the green places and open spaces that need protecting most today are in our own neighborhoods. In too many places, the beauty of local vistas has been degraded by decades of ill-planned and ill-coordinated development.
Al Gore
Speaking from my own religious tradition in this Christmas season, 2,000 years ago a homeless woman gave birth to a homeless child in a manger because the inn was full.
Al Gore
The spiritual sense of our place in nature... can be traced to the origins of human civilization... The last vestige of organized goddess worship was eliminated by Christianity.
Al Gore
The center of the earth is about a million degrees.
Al Gore
We have arrived at a moment of decision. Our home - Earth - is in grave danger. What is at risk of being destroyed is not the planet itself, of course, but the conditions that have made it hospitable for human beings.
Al Gore
Some people accuse me of exaggeration, so let me be clear. Those people seek nothing less than the complete and utter destruction of the American way of life.
Al Gore
I'm going to be focused on doing everything I possibly can to help solve the climate crisis.
Al Gore
Because these consequences are distributed globally, the problem masquerades as a distraction. Because the length of time between causes and consequences stretches out longer than we're used to dealing with, it gives us the illusion that we have the luxury of time. Neither of those things is true.
Al Gore
The age of printed pamphlets and political essays has long since been replaced by television, a distracting and absorbing medium which seems determined to entertain itself more than it informs and educates.
Al Gore
George Bush taking credit for the wall coming down is like the rooster taking credit for the sun rising.
Al Gore
The rule of reason is the true sovereign in the American system.
Al Gore
When people flirt with despair about the future, they are less likely to take the actions necessary to safeguard it, focusing instead on the short-term.
Al Gore
For a free country to continue thriving, there have to be regular reforms, because any society, any economy that stays in place, you're going to see repeated attempts to exploit the openings for twisting policy to the advantage of those who already have wealth and power.
Al Gore
I'm a big fan of Bitcoin ... Regulation of money supply needs to be depoliticized.
Al Gore
The existence of the EPA regulation will require large carbon polluters to look at their hole cards, and some of them have decided that they much prefer legislation.
Al Gore
A day will come when our children and grandchildren will look back and they'll ask one of two questions. Either they will ask: what in God's name were they doing? or they may look back and say: how did they find the uncommon moral courage to rise above politics and redeem the promise of American democracy?
Al Gore
Every nation has a moral obligation to safeguard the future.
Al Gore
For me, the most serious problem is how America became so vulnerable to the assertion of blatant falsehoods that drive policy and are not corrected by the so-called immune system of democracy, a free press and a free democratic discourse.
Al Gore
At some point, a false belief collides with physical reality.
