Al Gore
I drive a hybrid, and we've changed our light bulbs and windows and installed solar panels and geothermal ground source heat pumps and most everything else.
Al Gore
My counsel advises me that there is no controlling legal authority or case that says there was any violation of law whatsoever.

A day will come when our children and grandchildren will look back and they'll ask one of two questions. Either they will ask: what in God's name were they doing? or they may look back and say: how did they find the uncommon moral courage to rise above politics and redeem the promise of American democracy?
Al Gore
The debate's over. The people who dispute the international consensus on global warming are in the same category now with the people who think the moon landing was staged on a movie lot in Arizona.
Al Gore
