I strongly believe in the separation of church and state. But freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion, there is a better way.
Al Gore
Although I have a variety of obligations, the climate crisis is my central concern.
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
We are seeing every night on the television news now a nature hike through the Book of Revelation. These climate-related extreme weather events have convinced the vast majority of people that the scientists have been right for a long time. We have to address this.
Al Gore
When you're going through an emotional experience and you're focussed completely on what's happening, you can't even spare any attention that the camera's there.
Al Gore

Al Gore
I have always been fascinated with those who try to look over the horizon and see things that are coming at us.
Al Gore
American democracy is in grave danger from the changes in the environment in which ideas either live and spread or wither and die.
Al Gore
The global warming deniers persist in this air of unreality. After all, the entire north polar icecap, which has been there for most of the last 3 million years, is disappearing before our eyes. Forty percent is already gone. The rest is expected to go completely within the next decade. What do they think is causing this?
Al Gore
The interior of the earth is extremely hot – several million degrees.
Al Gore
I doubt nuclear power will play a much larger role than it does now.
Al Gore
The Congress is virtually incapable of passing any reforms unless they first get permission from the powerful special interests who are most affected by the proposal.
Al Gore
I smoked pot in college and in the Army.
Al Gore
Surveillance technologies now available - including the monitoring of virtually all digital information - have advanced to the point where much of the essential apparatus of a police state is already in place.
Al Gore
Atheists have just as much of a right to the public discourse as any ... people of any religious faith in this country.
