More quotes by Al Gore
The scientific evidence of how serious this climate crisis is becoming continues to amass week after week after week.
Al Gore
I think it's harder for people than it should be. But as more and more of us become carbon neutral and change the patterns in our lives to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem, we are now beginning to see the changes in policy that are needed.
Al Gore
We sometimes emphasize the danger in a crisis without focusing on the opportunities that are there.
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 would kiss Tipper much longer.
Al Gore
I'm very familiar with the importance of dairy farming in Wisconsin. I've spent the night on a dairy farm here in Wisconsin. If I'm entrusted with the presidency, you'll have someone who is very familiar with what the Wisconsin dairy industry is all about.
Al Gore
I'm naturally an optimist, but my basis for hope is rooted in my understanding of human nature.
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
The 'well-informed citizenry is in danger of becoming the 'well-amused audience'.
Al Gore
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
It's an important point, and every little bit helps not least because those who make those kinds of changes are more likely to make their voices heard as citizens. But the ultimate solutions are going to come through policies.
Al Gore
How could this Y2K be a problem in a country where we have Intel and Microsoft?
Al Gore
We are monumentally distracted by a pervasive technological culture that appears to have a life of its own, one that insists on our full attention, continually seducing us and pulling us away from the opportunity to experience directly the true meaning of our own lives.
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
I'm sorry I ever invented the Electoral College.
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
We're operating this planet like a business in liquidation.
Al Gore
We can build a collective civic space large enough for all our separate identities, that we can be E Pluribus Unum - Out of One, Many.
Al Gore
Civil disobedience has an honourable history, and when the urgency and moral clarity cross a certain threshold, then I think that civil disobedience is quite understandable, and it has a role to play.
Al Gore
The truth about the climate crisis is still inconvenient for the large carbon polluters and the politicians who are in their pockets.
Al Gore
