I'm not trying to top anything. I'm trying to be useful, to play a positive role, to serve the public interest.
Al Gore

Science has a culture that is inherently cautious and that is normally not a bad thing. You could even say conservative, because of the peer review process and because the scientific method prizes uncertainty and penalises anyone who goes out on any sort of a limb that is not held in place by abundant and well-documented evidence.
Al Gore

I don't really consider this a political issue, I consider it to be a moral issue.
Al Gore
Image
America's political system has evolved over the last 50 years in ways that have enhanced the power of business lobbies.

Take it from me - every vote counts. In our Democracy, every vote has power. And never forget - that power is yours. Don't let anyone take it away or talk you into throwing it away. And let's make sure that this time every vote is counted.
Al Gore

I'm going to be focused on doing everything I possibly can to help solve the climate crisis.
Al Gore

I've been dreaming of this moment since I was a kid growing up in Tennessee: that one day, I'd have the chance to come here to Madison Square Garden and be the warm-up act for Elvis.
Al Gore

Al Gore
Image
There are some bright spots, to be sure, but the internet is still in a Wild West phase, as was the case during the early age of the printing press as well.
Al Gore
Image
The scientific evidence of how serious this climate crisis is becoming continues to amass week after week after week.
Al Gore
Image
If the only tool we use to analyse what's valuable is a price tag, then those things that don't have price tags begin to look like they have no value.
Al Gore

If the people that believed the moon landing was staged on a movie lot had access to unlimited money from large carbon polluters or some other special interest who wanted to confuse people into thinking that the moon landing didn't take place, I'm sure we'd have a robust debate about it right now.
Al Gore
Image
I don't have the illusion that there's any position or role in the world with as much potential for bringing about change as that of president of the United States.
Al Gore
Image
As it turns out, the scientific community has been addressing this particular question for some time now and they say that increased heavy snowfalls are completely consistent with what they have been predicting as a consequence of man-made global warming.
Al Gore
Image
The Internet empowers individuals to play a more active role in the political process, as Obama's campaign has manifested.
Al Gore
Image
The Founders of the U.S. gave the senators a term of office three times longer than that of a representative precisely to encourage a reflective frame of mind, a distance from the passions of the voters, and a capacity for deliberative consideration.
Al Gore
Image
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
Image
It seems an easy choice - sacrifice the tree for a human life - until one learns that three trees must be destroyed for each patient treated. Suddenly we must confront some tough questions. How important are the medical needs of future generations?
