I want to extend condolences to the families of those who died in the service of the United Nations.
Al Gore
During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.
Al Gore
We face the gravest threat that civilization has ever confronted. It's global in nature and requires a global solution. Increased CO2 emissions anywhere, whether from China or the United States or from one of the countries that is burning its forests like Brazil or Indonesia.
Al Gore
Our insatiable drive to rummage deep beneath the surface of the earth is a willful expansion of our dysfunctional civilization into Nature.
Al Gore
In the United States of America, unfortunately we still live in a bubble of unreality.
Al Gore
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
What's at risk [in 100 years] if we do not take action, truly is the survival of civilization as we know it... Literally that is the case. We have seen global warming so far of just a little bit less than one degree Celsius and look at what's happened. Superstorm Sandy. Boulder Colorado. All these fires. Hurricane Irene one year before.
Al Gore
When you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. When you have the law on your side, argue the law. When you have neither, holler.
Al Gore
A lot of people go straight from denial to despair without pausing in the middle and doing something about it.
Al Gore
In order to solve the climate crisis, we need to solve the democracy crisis.
Al Gore
We are running out of time, we must have a planetary solution to a planetary crisis.
Al Gore
I doubt nuclear power will play a much larger role than it does now.
Al Gore
It's not at all new for wealthy and powerful interests to try to hide the ball and ignore independent analyses of relevant facts.
Al Gore
Iraq does pose a serious threat to the stability of the Persian Gulf and we should organize an international coalition to eliminate his access to weapons of mass destruction. Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to completely deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.
Al Gore
The Bush administration works closely with a network of rapid response digital brownshirts who work to pressure reporters and their editors for 'undermining support for our troops.'
Al Gore
Israel has its own right as a nation to defend its national security.
Al Gore
The task of saving the earth's environment must and will become the central organizing principle of the post-Cold War world.
Al Gore
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
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
It's as if we think the laws of physics are subject to debate and amendment and political contributions can sway the laws of physics.
Al Gore
