Atheists have just as much of a right to the public discourse as any ... people of any religious faith in this country.
Al Gore
Image
I remain optimistic that ultimately free speech and a free press where individuals have access to the dialogue will have a self-correcting quality.
Al Gore
Image
The truth about the climate crisis is still inconvenient for the large carbon polluters and the politicians who are in their pockets.
Al Gore
Image
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
Image
We are close to a time when all of humankind will envision a global agenda that encompasses a kind of Global Marshall Plan to address the causes of poverty and suffering and environmental destruction all over the earth.
Al Gore

The truth is that we're at a critical juncture in the history of our species and if we don't act soon, we could inhabit a world we don't recognize anymore.
Al Gore
Image
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.

I think I may have a future as a disembodied head.

America's political system has evolved over the last 50 years in ways that have enhanced the power of business lobbies.
Al Gore
Image
What we've often seen is that when we Americans say, look, we've got to reduce pollution, business - some businesses complain about it, but almost every time, it's turned out to be easier and cheaper and accomplished faster, and they've gained confidence, and then we go farther.
Al Gore
Image
CO2 is the exhaling breath of our civilization, literally... Changing that pattern requires a scope, a scale, a speed of change that is beyond what we have done in the past.
Al Gore
Image
The struggle against poverty in the world and the challenge of cutting wealthy country emissions all has a single, very simple solution... Here it is: Put a price on carbon.
Al Gore
Image
We have a planetary emergency. We have to find a way to create, in the generation of those alive today, a sense of generational mission.

Israel has its own right as a nation to defend its national security.
Al Gore
Image
There's lots about politics I don't feel comfortable with. To talk about the politics of future ideas is impossible in soundbite form.
Al Gore
Image
As human beings, we are vulnerable to confusing the unprecedented with the improbable. In our everyday experience, if something has never happened before, we are generally safe in assuming it is not going to happen in the future, but the exceptions can kill you and climate change is one of those exceptions.
Al Gore
Image
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
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?

The presidency is more than a popularity contest.
