I don't really consider this a political issue, I consider it to be a moral issue.
Al Gore
Image
The symbolism - and the substantive significance - of planting a tree has universal power in every culture and every society on Earth, and it is a way for individual men, women and children to participate in creating solutions for the environmental crisis.
Al Gore
Image
You can push your local communities to adopt more sustainable sources of energy and environmentally-friendly practices.
Al Gore
Image
...it is appropriate to have an over representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis.
Al Gore
Image
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
Image
The physical relationship between CO2 molecules and the atmosphere and the trapping of heat is as well-established as gravity, for God's sakes. It's not some mystery.
Al Gore
Image
The conversation on global warming has been stalled because a shrinking group of denialists fly into a rage when it's mentioned.
Al Gore
Image
As many know, the Chinese expression for crisis consists of two characters side by side. The first is the symbol for danger, the second the symbol for opportunity.
Al Gore
Image
I have always been fascinated with those who try to look over the horizon and see things that are coming at us.
Al Gore
Image
The crisis is a concrete threatening reality today. It stands to get catastrophically worse unless we take action before the accumulation [of] this global warming pollution reaches such toxic levels that the problem becomes bigger than we can solve.
Al Gore
Image
There's no doubt that in the last two to three decades, American democracy has been hacked. It was based on the regular harvesting of the wisdom of crowds, but now big sources of special interest money are able to prevent the passage of almost any meaningful reform that's aimed at the public interest.
Al Gore
Image
Remember that the problem is bigger than the car you drive or the types of lightbulbs in city hall. We need a fundamental shift away from dirty fossil fuels that spew carbon pollution. To make that happen, we need to put pressure on our leaders to take the bold actions necessary to move us off dirty sources of energy.
Al Gore
Image
The United States is the only nation that can lead the world toward a solution on climate change.
Al Gore
Image
(George Bush) betrayed this country! He played on our fears. He took America on an ill-conceived foreign adventure dangerous to our troops, an adventure preordained and planned before 9/11 ever took place!
Al Gore
Image
I pledge to you today that as president, in my first budget, I will introduce the largest increase in special education ever.
Al Gore
Image
The more deeply I search for the roots of the global environmental crisis, the more I am convinced that it is an outer manifestation of an inner crisis that is, for lack of a better word, spiritual... what other word describes the collection of values and assumptions that determine our basic understanding of how we fit into the universe?
Al Gore
Image
I work to promote the idea of sustainable capitalism driven by long-term considerations rather than quarterly profits, which seeks to better people's lives and the planet rather than destroy them.
Al Gore
Image
You know the old saying: you win some, you lose some... and then there's that little-known third category.
Al Gore
Image
...it ought to be possible to establish a coordinated global program to accomplish the strategic goal of completely eliminating the internal combustion engine over, say, a twenty-five-year period.
Al Gore
Image
There is an air of unreality in debating these arcane points when the world is changing in such dramatic ways right in front of our eyes because of global warming.
Al Gore
