More quotes by Al Gore
I do genuinely believe that the political system is not linear. When it reaches a tipping point fashioned by a critical mass of opinion, the slow pace of change we're used to will no longer be the norm. I see a lot of signs every day that we're moving closer and closer to that tipping point.
Al Gore
Airplane travel is nature's way of making you look like your passport photo.
Al Gore
I will tell you that what gives me a sense of joy is having work to do that justifies pouring every ounce of energy I have into it. That's really a blessing to have in your life. And it gives you energy back when you have the privilege of doing work that makes you feel that way.
Al Gore

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

It is just human nature to take time to connect the dots, I know that. But I also know that there can be a day of reckoning when you wish you had connected the dots more quickly.
Al Gore
When we respond to threats immediately and take action right away, it's usually the threats that we're hard-wired to respond to, the kinds of things that our ancestors survived.
Al Gore
Our way of life is at stake, our grandchildren are at stake, the future of civilization is at stake.
Al Gore
How could this Y2K be a problem in a country where we have Intel and Microsoft?
Al Gore
Remember America, I gave you the Internet and I can take it away.
Al Gore
We can't negotiate the facts. We can't negotiate the truth about the situation. And for those who are too fearful to finish, it can be done and must be done. Make sure we succeed, . . . It is wrong for this generation to destroy the habitability of our planet and ruin the prospects of every future generation.
Al Gore
The will to act is a renewable resource.
Al Gore
Unless we stop dumping 70 million tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere every 24 hours, which we are doing right now ... the continued acceleration of this pollution would destroy the future of human civilization.
Al Gore
American troops and American taxpayers are shouldering a huge burden with no end in sight because Mr. Bush took us to war on false premises and with no plan to win the peace.
Al Gore
The ability of big money to shape perceptions - where you have four anti-climate lobbyists for every single member of the House and Senate - is a big factor.
Al Gore
I am a passionate advocate of getting special interest money out of politics.
Al Gore
